i would be fine with it with 2 conditions:
1) guaranteed fucktons of iron or copper and a few handfuls of a half dozen other ores.
2) Easier trading, i don't want to fuck about setting the same trade options every year, and they need to bring more of what i want.

you would be screwed if you needed to make magma safe pumps when you need iron to make corkscrews and nickel or something to make pipes :/

Glass.

You can always make a macro to quickly set up the trade levels for you, and apparently the caravan arc, that we're working through now, is completely overhauling the trade system.  So, we may expect this to happen.

I think the density of metal ores should be a world gen parameter.

I never bothered with macros, i better start learning them thx

[Girlinhat]

Macros are easy, you just have to realize that it records your actions exactly, and replays them key for key.  so, if you designate a small wall to be build, and record that, you can easily do it again.  On the other hand, if you go into the military screen and play the same macro, it'll start reassigning uniforms and schedules, because a macro doesn't pay attention to where it's playing, just the keystrokes.

Map with both shallow and deep metals:

Just under soil layer:
Lots of garnierite (nickel ore)
clear zircon gem clusters

1st Cavern:
Lots of native gold
Lots of microline (how useless...)
brown zircon
clear zircon
fire opal
turquoise
yellow zircon

2nd Cavern:
yellow zircon
goshenite

3rd Cavern:
Adamantine
goshenite

Magma sea:
goshenite

And remember to stop recording them before you save and put in the name. I've named it while the macro was still running and strange things happened.

so despite having both shallow and deep as plural, you only had 2 types of metal total? ouch... (I'm assuming that adamantine doesn't count under the "metals")

[Vercingetorix]

My site has hematite, magnetite, and galena based upon what I've found so far.

[Girlinhat]

Based on the available evidence, I can conclude that without a tag, there will be no metal.  With a tag, Armok gathers a set of dice and you roll for LCK, determining if there is any metal or if the tags lie.

[bluelang]

Shallow and deep metals, no flux listed, got:

Limonite
Magnetite
Tetrahedrite
Gold
Candy

aaaaand Marble.

Winner!

New caverns are cool.. Dunno if it's random but mine are much less labyrinthine.

This sounds like a good time to use saves made in .18 and update them?

This sounds like an amazing idea.  Gen worlds in .18 and load them in .19 for all the nuggety goodness.

Would that allow you to still get the new .19 features?
