Rare calcite clusters in non-flux sedimentary layers.
« on: February 27, 2008, 05:07:00 am »

The title pretty much says it all.  It's hard enough to find sedimentary layers that don't have an aquifer.  If there could be a few random large clusters of calcite in shale, conglomerate, etc maps, that would be awesome.  It introduces the same kind of randomness in finding flux that you get in finding other special kinds of rock.

And it wouldn't have to be all that common.  Maybe between a 1 in 2 and a 1 in 3 chance of finding it on any given map containing sedimentary rock.  This would make embarking a lot more exciting for me because I might take a risk on a non-flux sedimentary site that I wouldn't have taken otherwise.

Perhaps just having limestone deposits around underground rivers/ponds?  That might be nice.  It would also give a notification of when people are getting close to the water supply, as the dampness doesn't extend beyond the first adjacent tile.

This is the way it used to be (cave river in the 2D version), and should be again, I think.

That's a great idea.  Just put limestone around the cave river/pool.
