Is there some trick to getting clay?  I've generated a couple dozen worlds and not one single spot of clay anywhere.  Anyone have a seed for a world that has at least one spot of clay?

Seems high drainage and high rainfall encourages clay.  Temperature seems not as big a factor.

Do you mean that there is nothing even showing up when you hit to search for clay?

Are you sure you didn't do something like change the raws or use LNP for the 31.18 version to eliminate aquifers, which also overwrites the raw data for soils, eliminating the ability to use clays as clays?

[Thudde]

I search for clay.  Nothing.  Scroll around, no clay.  I've modified nothing.  I turned autosave on, and have a graphics pack loaded.  No other changes to any file.

Stupid question but bear with me; are you using .19?

[Thudde]

Yes.  I have all the new animals, all the new skills, and seeing reduced metals, I can build hives and pens and pastures, just no clay (or bees)...

I re-downloaded .19 and generated a new world - clay everywhere.  So, either my download was corrupt or the Phoenix graphics overwrote something it shouldn't have.  I guess its back to ASCII for me!

or the Phoenix graphics overwrote something it shouldn't have.

This is the likely culprit.  The display information for soil and stone is also the place where the tags for things like sand clay and aquifers exist, if that graphics pack you were using was not specifically made with the changes of .19 in mind, or if you had an older version, the graphics pack quite likely overwrote the soil raws with a version that had no clay tags.
