Metals?
« on: April 06, 2011, 03:10:39 pm »
Okay, I understand the new thing about trying to make metals scarce, but is there any way to make it so that I have metals? Or do metals only appear in places that say "shallow metal" and "deep metal"?

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

One of the easiest ways I've seen is just to generate a world with higher resource amounts.

Also, volcanoes tend to have tons of metals.

Yeah, change the metal scarcity to 100, and you get everything everywhere basically (layer permitting, ofc.)

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Yes. If it doesn't say either, it will have no metal ever (except the stuff deeeeeeeeeeeeeep down).

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.
