pure awesome

A truly Ore-gasmic setup, the miners should be delving harder than ever with such lovelies in sight.

That is some sweet looking tetrahedrite!I have tried several times to make nice crystaline shapes like that, but they tend to look like lumpy blobs when reduced to 18x18

I re-made the badlands cracked tile to make it actually tile seamlessly, here's what it looks like when applied to slate, shale and slade:

I'm not quite familiar with ironhand development but that cyan stuff look like devilish grinny faces

[Aklyon]

Whats the green mossy things?
otherwise, awesome going, WormSlayer!

If you step back a page, you will see the semi-failed experiment those cyan tiles come from

Whats the green mossy things?

Those would be lumps of galena ore

I like the 'value=rarity' system.  One little request, though: could you make the iron ores visually distinct from the hybrid ores, tile-wise?  Just a thought.

By "hybrid ores" you mean tetrahedrite and galena? I dunno about using another tile slot for them, but maybe they could be ore/ore rather than ore/rock?

I love how that looks.
Can't wait to see how things will look when you've got everything set up

Attempting to combine IH's ore tile, which I really like, with last nights attempt:

(Also using the correct material colours.)

ooh.

Be careful using correct material colours. I'm working on some better stones for stonesense, and I've already discovered that kimberlite and cobaltite are grey stones in real-life. That means that there's no actual blue stones in df :/ (well, okay, gabbro can be dark blue, but so can marble)

[Aklyon]

We've got enough grey stones already. let there be blue!

[AirsBlue]

I'm Airs Blue gorramit. I need Blue for my floor designs!
lol

And those metal ore icons are delicious.

[therahedwig]

Indeed.

Also, I was just reminded of something while reading the discussion on kobolds:

Kobolds in DF are "A small, squat humanoid with large pointy ears and yellow glowing eyes." and they have brown skin according to the raws.

None of the graphics sets actually reflect this. You might want to consider changing it, unless you don't wish to annoy the cute!kobold fans :/
(Or maybe there should be a seperate kobold-like race modded called 'cutebolds')

Looking at the newer picture and the older picture, WS, the newer ones seem a bit greyed out.

Looks good to me.  Yeah, giving hybrid ores higher contrast like that has exactly the effect I was looking for.  Thanks!


And I think the main reason kimberlite is blue in DF is that in the old days unweathered kimberlite was arbitrarily called "blue ground" to differentiate it from "yellow ground" (weathered kimberlite, which actually is yellow).  Power of Wikipedia!
