Despite it theoretically being common I very rarely see any metals ores in my flux stone layers, if at all. If you have deep metals you may see it.ġ1) Malachite: an ore of copper which shows up in two types of flux stone: limestone and marble. But in my experience there's always a deep igneous intrusive layer and gabbro is a very common stone in that layer. Shows up only in gabbro stone, which is igneous intrusive. ![]() ![]() Since metamorphic stone is more common with the possibility of marble, this will show up uncommonly as a deep metal.ĩ) Native copper: shows up in all igneous extrusive stone and one form of sedimentary stone, meaning it's somewhat uncommon and generally only encountered in the surface.ġ0) Garnerite: An ore of the useless nickel. Prepared to be disappointed when you see this metal.Ĩ) Native silver: shows up in two types of metamorphic stone, meaning it will generally be located pretty deep. shows up in metamorphic layers, which will be likely if your flux stone is marble. Gold is pretty useless aside from artifact blunt weapons and raising wealth via fancy crafts/furnitures.ħ) Sphalerite: the ore for zinc, which is used to make brass (mostly useless). In most embarks with deep metals, expect to see it. The reason it's up this high is the assumption that your embark contains flux, which is much more commonly seen in sedimentary layers than metamorphic.Ħ) Native gold: Despite its supposed rarity, gold is stunningly common due to the fact that it appears in all igneous layers, which are frequently deep. Less common than hematite due to the fact that it's only found in sedimentary layers. If not (marble flux stone), expect to have trouble finding it.ĥ) Magnetite/Limonite: Valuable ores for iron. Found commonly in sedimentary layers and igneous extrusive layers and is common if your flux stone is from the sedimentary layer. You will more likely than not see this ore.Ĥ) Hematite: an ore of iron, making it extremely valuable for the production of steel. found in a wide variety of stone types including igneous layers, metamorphic layers and even sedimentary layers in limestone. In my experience this ore is insanely common and always good since it contains valuable copper and silver.ģ) Galena: extremely common ore containing silver and the nigh-useless lead. However, this doesn't guarantee it'll show up anywhere convenient as it's almost always found past the 3rd cavern layer.Ģ) Tetrahedrite: by far the most common standard metal ore and the only one that can show up in any stone layer. With all that in mind, here's the list:ġ) Raw adamantine: each 2x2 embark is guaranteed to contain one vein of this rare metal, so in a standard embark, this will always show up. Since there's flux stone, the possibility of sedimentary or metamorphic layers is greatly magnified, since flux stone only appears in those layers. This is a theoretical list of the most likely metals you'll find based on the wiki containing the list of metal ores. I'm also assuming you're doing a standard 4x4 embark. Kitfox Discord #modding-discussion channelīronzemurder and Oilfurnace (illustrated)įirstly, I'm assuming you're picking a standard shallow metals + deep metals embark with flux stone and you're not checking the biome it's in. ![]() A three step guide:ĭownload DF Classic or install the premium version from Steam or Itch.ioįollow the quickstart guide on the wiki, or see other learning resources (below)Īsk any questions in the ☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ - it's always active See the reasons for our rules here, and please report any problems!ĭF can be intimidating, but we're dedicated to helping new players.
