Talk:Shale
From DwarfFortressWiki
So how high are my chances of finding bituminous coal or lignite in shale? I have found most other stones from the table, but no coal yet. I am getting into deeper levels now where i hit almost only marble and granite.. :( Any tips? --Koltom 22:49, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- If you didn't see them on the Embark screen, chances are you don't have the stuff and will have to import it. --Digger 23:32, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- digger, the embark screen only shows layers, and coal doesnt come in layers so wont show there. koltom, shale has the same odds as any other sedementary layer at finding it, which includes the chance to not find any at all. -Chariot 02:13, 5 March 2008 (EST)
- So if I have a shale layer, I MAY have bituminous coal or lignite? Does presence of an aquifier in shale affect(excluding the obvious aquifier effects of course) these chances? --Digger 02:58, 5 March 2008 (EST)
