Can't create a zone to get a clay. I try to start ceramic industry, but wherever I create a zone, it always show me a "0" (zero) near a clay. Of course I created zones above clay floor (silty clay floor).

It should be sufficient to set the zone on a single clear (i.e. nothing growing on it) clay tile. I've had the situation where a sand tile got overgrown in between me designating the building of a floor grate to keep growth out and the actual construction, resulting in an unusable overgrown source tile with a grate.

The easiest way to have a working collection zone is to specify it over a _wall_ of the material (as the "source") and an adjacent floor tile (as a place for the collector to stand on). Walls never grow over, so as long as you remember not to mine the wall away, you have an eternal maintenance-free material source.

Try expanding the activity zone larger, eventually you should end up with a workable patch of clay.

Thank you for answers, but nothing helps. If somebody wants to help me and my dwarfs, you can download my fortress from here

Well I only saw silty clay loam.
They are not silty clay.

Next time you can check the embark screen, it will tell whether your site has clay or sand.

Next time you can check the embark screen, it will tell whether your site has clay or sand.

Clay: yes, natively. Sand: only if you use dfhack and either (1) enable embark-tools sand or (2) prospect all on the map screen.
