How would I make a gold layer? I assume like this:

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:GOLD_LAYER]
[NAME:gold nuggets]
[COLOR:7:7:1]
[TILE:156]
[SEDIMENTARY]
[VALUE:30]

Is that accurate? I figure since the name gold nuggets will be the same I can still smelt gold with them.

[TheSpaceMan]

No the name has no meaning except giving the player a readable name.

For this to work you need to change the reactions, and they are a bit non working at the moment.

Additional, you could just increase the size of the current gold instead.

[magikarcher]

So, for now, no gold layers? Only large clusters?

[TheSpaceMan]

Like i said you can probably change the original gold cluster(?) to something else like a layer. But you can't add a new metal type and make it become gold in a smelter i think.

But then again i might be wrong i am some times.

[magikarcher]

How could someone with a South Park avatar be wrong, South Park is never wrong! Except for the times that they are.

Oh for the love of....

Come on people, DF raws are nothing complicated, just read them right.
First of all, both ores and layers are MATGLOSS_STONE, which means they are basically just stone.
If you add a layer-placement tag to an existing stone, it will appear as layers after you gen a new world.
So, to have gold nuggets spawn as layers, just add a layer-type tag to the existing gold nuggets.
If you were making a mod for Modbase, the entire modification would look like this:

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:GOLD]
[IGNEOUS_INTRUSIVE]


[Untelligent]

...that seems to be missing a few tags.

[PTTG??]

AHHH!!!

[MATGLOSS_STONE:GOLD_LAYER]
[NAME:gold-infused stone]
[COLOR:7:7:1]
[METAL_ORE:GOLD:30]
[TILE:156]
[SEDIMENTARY]
[VALUE:30]

Tada! Just add that to the layers file and gen a new world. No, it won't work in your current world.
Also, this has a 30% chance of creating a gold bar, or possibly creates .3 gold bar or something like that. Regardless, you get 30% the number of boulders you put in, out as gold bars.

Untelligent, I said "If you were making a mod for Modbase". :/ Modbase merges identical entries, adding anything that's in the mod entry. So, that mod would add the line "[IGNEOUS_INTRUSIVE]" to the [MATGLOSS_STONE:GOLD] entry.

[magikarcher]

Nice touch with the 30% gold chances. I like that. It worked great, you wouldn't believe how yellow my terrain is. Gold-infused boulders FTW! 

Edit: Late spring, first year. Over 100,000 wealth created already.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Meh. I made layers of kimberlite for my Minerals mod. Yellow mountains are nothing too new, but dark blue mountains? When I play on those, I make double sure to have most of the fort watertight - I'll simply never notice the floods. Also, diamonds galore.

[magikarcher]

How would I go about making a diamond or ruby layer? Also, I added a platinum layer too!

[i2amroy]

Just add a layer tag like sedimentary to diamonds. You might also have to remove the environment tag also though.

P.S. don't forget that you will have to generate a new world after changing any data in the mineral layer for it to have an effect.
