I just wondered; if I add rock crystal multiple times to matgloss_stone_gem.txt, will it make it more likely to appear? Or will only the first entry for it be used?

[Remalle]

It will make it more likely to appear, but you'll have to change the [MATGLOSS_STONE:] tag, else you'll get errors during worldgen and it probably won't appear at all, for example:

[MATGLOSS_STONE:CRYSTAL_ROCK_2]
[TILE:15][GEM:rock crystal:STP][COLOR:7:7:1][GLASS][VALUE:2]
[ENVIRONMENT:ALL_STONE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]

will give you a completely new gem with the same properties as rock crystal.
A different approach is to change the last line to [ENVIRONMENT:ALL_STONE:CLUSTER:100], which will give you large fields of rock crystal all over the place.

A third approach is to change the number at the end of the environment tag. This number is not actually a percentage, but rather a fraction of a total. For example, if I have two rocks that could appear in a certain type of stone and one had [ENVIRONMENT:XXXXX:XXXXX:100] and the other had [ENVIRONMENT:XXXXX:XXXXX:50], than the first rock would have a 100/150, or 2/3 chance of appearing, while the second would have a 50/150, or 1/3 chance of appearing in that certain rock. If you increase the number to something large, say 5000, than it should win almost every battle with other types of stones and appear much more often.
