when mining gold/silver or other kinds of metals like them
« on: July 21, 2010, 09:30:08 pm »
can we get gold and the like to come embedded inside of quarts veins instead of just a solid block of the metal it would be a nice way of cutting down on the amount of metal that now comes in such large amounts in game now.


hope thats clear enough

Do you mean something like instead of veins, gold comes in small clusters inside said vein?

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

That can currently be accomplished in the raws right now...

You can turn gold into small clusters instead of veins.

You can make gold ore require multiple ores to produce a single bar of gold.

There should also theoretically be tokens in the raws that let you adjust the probability of finding any of those veins.

There is, except they're currently broken, and everything ends up at 100% abundance no matter what you set it to.  Which is probably one of the reasons that everything is so common in the 31.x versions.
