Would it be at all possible to say, remove all layers of stone from the matgloss_stone_layer save for Marble and Obsidian only to come up with a newly generated world that only has Obsidian and Marble as it's stone layers?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Why don't you try?

You might have to leave one layer of soil though, but otherwise I don't think anything prohibits that.

[Anonemoose]

I believe that's in another Matgloss all togther, but hey, what the hell, I'll give it the old college try.

Well there has been a small measure of sucess. Around areas with magma, the only stone layers that it consists of is Obsidian and Marble. Progress! However, all other places have multiple layers of sand numbering up to four-six layers, and even brooks being listed as layers. Perhaps changing a few notes about Obsidian, such as metamorphic and magma, will increase it's availability.

EDIT: Thinking of just making multiple copies of Obsidian with the only real change being the exclusion of [LAVA] and some other form of rock layer. Odd, though, how Brooks are being listed up to three times as stone layers.

I think it has to do with world generation recognizing how well water runs through sand or something.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think it's aquifers.

And the game will always look for soil to place, so I don't know what will happen if you remove all soil type layers. You might get a sandless world, or you might get a crash.
