Is it just me or does everyone notice that their are WAY more of the non-standard resources on the maps now?  I'm talking about the Mica, Olivine, Chromite, Kaolinite, Marcasite, etc.  In older versions I was able to dig for a while before hitting these and they were fairly sparse.  The new client seems to have these in spades.  I even had a mountain map that was ( I swear ) 60% Obsidian.  I just checked it with 3Dwarf and there's no magma to be found and I just finished clearing out a 20x20 cluster of Olivine.  I have a load of green stone.

Thoughts?

I havent seen this, normally I find non-standard stones quite quick into the ground. About the obsidian are you sure you looks at all the biomes and you dont have a layer of it? You dont need magma on the map, it could be a vent on the next regional sqaure.

The obsidian was on the regional map when I started.  I loaded it figuring Obsidian.. must be a magma vent here... not a single one.  I've never seen this in the old client when looking for magma using obsidian as my reference.

Sounds like a good thing to me. There was never enough variation in stone for my tastes in the last version.

last version i was drowning in obsidian and the lower regions were laced with the green stuff.
It might be your vent is buried, it happens you know.

in v 39a I had a world made out of rocksalt, of all minerals.
my current map is fairly basic various grey materials with outcroppings of (hey!)  ortoclase...very little gems and no ores though...

Maybe I've just been extremely luck then the past 5 or so map gens.

And I checked for the magma vent with 3Dwarf which shows hidden structures like vents and chasms unless you do the no_hidden extract (and I didn't)
