Limonite

How do I make limonite appear in all layers, not just sedimentary?
I like to start near a volcano, and near a volcano there is only igneous extrusive.

I love this. In three pages we've gone from being willing to eat intelligent beings, to trying to make them *more* intelligent, so it will be more fun to eat them.

If you start near a volcano why do you need limonite?

You're thinking lignite. Limonite is iron ore bearing stone, lignite is fuel.

No.
Limonite.
Iron ore.
I can only find copper ore near volcanoes.

You should be able to find hematite though.

Do I have to create an entirely new world?
Or can I just edit the raws in the save?

That's actually a good question. At the very least you will probably need to go to a new site, but maybe not even that, for areas that haven't yet been populated - so long as you edit the *save's* raws, not the master raws. The layers can't be so easily changed, but the veins and inclusions might work.

(And why wouldn't you want lignite or bituminous coal near a volcano? They're very nice for the steel industry.)
