Ok, so, after some experimenting...  For !!Science!!

I have not yet tried just adding it to something along with adamantine.  However, I added it to gold to see what would happen.

There were vertical gold veins instead of adamantine ones.  This was expected.

It has hollow spots.

Now, to see what happens if I add it to more than one material..

Probably one vein of the stuff would be material 'A', one vein material 'B', etc.

Here's the question though. Is it the Deep Special tag that causes even the worst miners to always make an adamantine ore?

I would assume so, though it could be hard-coded.

This is what I'm trying to figure out, but I haven't really had time to test it well yet.

It was something to do !!For Science!!

I gave platinum and native silver the [DEEP_SPECIAL] tag.

On a 9x9 embark(!!)...

I have...

20 vertical veins.

4 are platinum.
4 are adamantine
12 are silver

I'm not sure why there are so many more silver veins.  Maybe I just need a larger sample.

I also have a clown fortress, though I'm not sure if that is of any relevance or not.  One of the adamantine veins extends up to Z+218 from Z+15, and I have a murky pool draining into my volcano, however, the map is otherwise uneventful.
