Yes, hematite, but very little and very quite a ways out. It's up on the grassy slopes and mountain peak on my map, yours will probably generate different stone layers though. There's always goblinite or caravans (if you're willing to deal with them).  It's almost all igneous so there's plenty of silver, tetrahedrite, galena, cassiterite, normal native copper, garnierite, cobaltite and gold to trade/make low-quality weapons and armor from. All the exposed ore is up top but it's probably a short trip to get it on sea level.

Oh, it's on the ocean? That makes a bit of sense. I've seen a fair number of ocean beaches that have straight, ramp-less walls from beach to regular ground level, though nothing this high.

Sounds like it makes for a much nicer, more realistic, world.

Gonna have to do that for .31.05!

How exactly does turning off periodic erosion make it more realistic? I'd say it did the opposite, landforms like those are rare on earth, and before you say, we get sheer coastal cliffs on earth, remember that DF works mostly in relative terms, so in real life, an equivalent cliff would be something like 400 feet tall.

If there was some option for varying erosion in perfect world DF, then that would be awesome.

I just wish there'd be a worldgen option that'd let us have perfectly vertical cliffs again.

It's nothing a few years of digging couldn't fix.

Ok, so I've taken a while to get my act together, but I don't know how to find out the seed for the place, I can give the world gen info, but not the seed, how do I find it?

Copy the save, run the copy, abandon, go into legends mode and on the bottom of the screen there are some options, choose the one that says something along the lines of 'export world gen info and map', not the detailed map one though as those options dont export the gen info.

The seed is then at the top of the file it creates in the DF root directory that has world gen in it's title.

Sorry, I'm on my laptop and dont have DF to make it more detailed.

but get out of .31.05 and into .31.06, .05 crashes the export.

does this give you a huge flat cliff to dig into? I wanted to try making a fort all in one level.
