Magnetite is a much better source. You'll leave a huge hole in the mountain, but its SO MUCH IRON!

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

Iron's in blood. Mod in a brewing reaction that leaves iron ore as a waste product.
Iron=Fe
What's in your blood=Fe2+ (or maybe Fe3+)

That's not iron you can use for weapons :)

Sadly enough, having only one cavern will cause your "shallow metal" to be in the magma sea, so I've found.

I have only one cavern and metal at Z-level -2 !

Insert [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:IRON], into all your cats.  Now they'll claim nest boxes and poop iron bars once a season.

I liked the old system better.

Old system: a little of everything on most embarks

New system: Either an absolute buttload of 1-3 random metals, or absolutely nothing at all.

Hmm I guess with the new system everyone should use site finder: shallow metals: multiple for higher iron chance.
