As discussed in previous threads, duplicating your stone layer RAWs causes it to make stone/soil constantly cycle materials, causing random syndromes when it creates cave-in dust. It occurs to me that if you modded in a custom stone/ore type, duplicating that RAW file could potentially cause that specific material to exhibit the same behaviour without causing the world to become uninhabitable. This means you could potentially find pockets of corrupt stone/ore with the bizarre effects mentioned previously.

Has anyone attempted anything something along these lines?

That's not how it works - constantly-cycling materials is what happens when the game is unable to locate a Stone or Soil layer material within a particular region, so it's always an all-or-nothing deal.

Literally, the functions for "get soil layer material" and "get stone layer material" search through the list of layer material for the biome in question and then return "rand(0, num_materials)" if they fail to find a material of the correct type, and that's all there is to it.

Right, and it usually can't find the material due to missing/duplicated RAWs.
