My current map has piles of iron, coal and flux, along with most every other type of ore. Unfortunately, the predominate stone is mudstone, which looks really ugly.

[NW_Kohaku]

I'm big on Chalk, Marble, Limestone in that order.

Also do you have the worldgen params up anywhere? And was it genned with any mods?

I do, but I'll just re-post it.

This was/is my first fort.  No mods, but the cat mouth mod, pretty much.

A small experimental fortress I'm running has a large chasm running from one side through the middle to the other side of the map, zig-zagging enough that every embark tile is considered near the chasm.  By now most of the surface is covered in cave spider webs, and inside they're appearing faster than my weavers can deal with them.  I hadn't been intending to build a silk-based economy and trade strategy when I set out, but that's the direction I seem to be going now.  Never mind that the site has HFS and more magnetite and gems than I can deal with, it's becoming the silk capital of the world.

Hmm... how is that working out for you?

I have cats, and won't really get rid of them (have enough in cages that I don't have to worry about catsplosion, since I'm long past 50), so when I got cave spiders from my underground river, but couldn't trap any easily, I just shrugged and ignored them.  (And will soon flood them out.)

I have PLENTY of pig tails and rope reeds from my overly large farm, and since they basically are worth the same as (non-GCS) silk, I figured trying to find a way to use spiders without letting my cats kill them all the time, or relocating my weavers nearer the UR was more trouble than it was worth.

[Sphalerite]

There are no cats on cave spider silk mountain.  Any immigrants who bring cats will be thrown into the chasm along with their evil pets that would harm my precious, precious cave spiders.

[Ze Spy]

replace them with giant cave spiders

My map is drowning in native silver. It has no magma, but I think I can find coal (good mixture of stone layers), so I'll kep my hopes up.

You know charcoal works the same as refined coal, right?

[ungulateman]

Yeah, but I don't want to waste too much wood, I need it for beds/barrels/bins/etc.

Can I just mod out the boring stone? Because I am sick to the back teeth of playing "Farm Fortress".

Yes, it is possible to mod out some stones and layers of stone you do not want. However, you can not remove all stone layers, as the game will then give you a placeholder 'stone' material.

I think it was just deleting the raw files of the stone you don't want and generating a new world, but remember to make backups first.
