Also, sorry if this has been mentioned, but from what I can see in my game, platinum is a 100% drop.

I have one fort with clusters of cassiterite, and it seems to be a 100% drop as well, so maybe the 100% drop applies to anything that can appear in clusters and not just veins? I don't know. Has anyone run across aluminum?

I think its based on how its placed, not the actual type.  My small platinum deposits are 100% drop rate, while the native silver and cassiterite veins are both 25% drop for me in my current fort.

Of course, all of this is bonus, since I apparently embarked on a literal hill of magnetite,  bituminous coal and chalk.  Nothing quite like having steel weapons, helms and mail for your dwarves before the first winter.  I'm almost not sure what to do with all this, its been so long since I've had "easy" steel production.

A disproportionally large steel armed army of course.

Also steel furniture. Flaunt your wealth with steel cabinets!

That's basically my plan. I've got 10 steel sarcophagi, 3 with dwarves in them. Once i get a few other things sorted i was planning more steel furniture.

Steel statues.  If they come out depicting anything other than your steel-clad military being badass, or your smith crafting prior steel statues of particular excellence, melt 'em down and make 'em again.

Build a DeadIron-style vault out of your steel into the mountain. Make a lot of electrical-like systems in it, like levers and floodgates to refill the reservoir with water from the river, or the bridge airlock system in the entrance, etc. That kinda stuff.
