DF Gameplay Questions / Problem finding iron :(
« on: July 11, 2012, 08:58:38 am »
Well, here it goes: I have been playing for years this game and I have always found Mangetite and Hematite / Limonite on my top layers (I imagine those are shallow metals) but with these new releases of the game I've trouble finding iron on top layers. I have been playing 4 or 5 fortress so far and I've found none on them. I assume Hem, Magn and Lim can only be found on top layers because I couldn't find anything underground in my previous fortress.
I found the same problem finding volcanoes, I've started to edit manually the world generation so I could find those desired volcanoes! Where the hell have mangetite layers went?
Oh, and I've another question: has the mining "rock" drop decreased? It's just I don't have so many rocks on my ground now, and when I mine gold I get a few ores.
Thx for reading.
EDIT - I remember there was a tool that let you see the layers pressing a botton but I don't remeber its name, does that still exist?
