Making obsidian show up more often?
« on: October 31, 2009, 04:29:57 pm »

Now, before I write anything more, I'd like to say that I am pretty much a DF newbie and I have never modded my DF before. Also, I cant play without tilesets (inb4 gfto nub).

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to remove Andesite, Rhyolite and Basalt from the world generation to make more obsidian show up around volcanos, as I have plans for building an obsidian pyramid but can never seem to find enough materials, not even on the sites where obsidian is supposed to be abundant.

Go into the 'objects' folder in the raws, and open matgloss_stone_layer.  Basalt, andesite, and rhyolite are a bit more than halfway down.  Delete this section:
Code: [Select]
[MATGLOSS_STONE:RHYOLITE]
[NAME:rhyolite][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:',']
[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:BASALT]
[NAME:basalt][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:'#']
[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:ANDESITE]
[NAME:andesite][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:236]
[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:FELSITE]
[NAME:felsite][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:'.']
[BASIC_COLOR:7:0]
[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]

I think that should leave you with only obsidian in such areas.
