# '''Adamantine''' is not exactly like other metals, although it works almost the same.  It has a value multiplier of x300 (yes, three ''hundred'').  It is also superior to steel for all combat purposes, and steel is clearly the best material otherwise available. See [[adamantine]] for a full discussion of this unusual and ultimate material.

# '''Bauxite''': Magma will melt most stone, and while there are some magma-safe metals, [[mechanism]]s can only be made from stone (or unprocessed adamantine ore), not metal. Aside from raw adamantine, bauxite is the only stone that will not melt in magma (see [[magma-safe]]), and so is uniquely suited for that purpose.

You won't find the terms "low-value" or "highest-value" used in the game, but they're handy here for rough comparison.  "[[Value]]s" are all relative to each other, on a common scale.  The "material value" number multiplies any final product that is created with that material by that number.  An average generic statue (base value 25) is worth much more than an average generic throne (base value 10), but a throne carved from raw [[native gold|gold nuggets]] (10 x 30 = 300) will be worth far more than a common-stone statue (25 x 1 = 25). ''(Note - "[[quality]]" also factors in to total value of a final product, as do some other considerations, but those are outside the scope of this intro article).''  Bottom line - when in doubt, go for the more valuable stuff.

Common '''stones''' ''(the vast majority)'' have a value multiplier of x1, mid-value ''(all [[flux]] stones)'' are x2, and high-value ''([[obsidian]] only)'' is x3.  This affects things like stone tables and doors, statues or stonecrafts - anything made from stone.  Metal [[ore]]s have varying values, from 2-40, and can either be treated as stone or smelted into bars of metal.

Basically, you look under other rocks. The trick is to have a good guess ''which'' other rocks to look under to find the one type that you're looking for.

In the main article for every rock (many generic/low-value ones share another table on the [[stone]] page), there is information about where these stones can be found.  Usually that's in a type of [[layer]], or sometimes within another specific or general type of [[stone]].  Sometimes the rock is a [[layer]] stone.  If it's found in [[sedimentary]], [[Igneous intrusive layer|Igneous intrusive layer]], [[igneous extrusive]], [[Metamorphic layer|metamorphic]] or [[soil]], those are broad classifications that cover many different types of layer stone.  A layer stone means it creates the dominant layer of that entire area, as defined by the "area block" (see next). By figuring out where the type of rock/ore you are looking for is found, you can dig in areas that have a better chance of having it.
