Summary0001429: Native platinum appears within olivine as small clusters instead of veins
DescriptionWhenever native platinum appears within large clusters of olivine, it consistently appears as small clusters rather than as veins. This seems to be a result of native platinum also being specified to occur as small clusters within chromite, which itself appears as veins within olivine, presumably overriding the inclusion type.
Steps To ReproduceGenerate a world (ideally a pocket region), embark, reveal, examine various olivine cluster, and observe that they contain lots of small clusters of native platinum, even in the complete absence of chromite.
Edit raw/objects/inorganic_stone_mineral.txt and remove the "[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:CHROMITE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]" line, generate another world, embark, reveal, fine an olivine cluster, and observe that they no longer contain small clusters of native platinum but instead occasionally contain veins (which most often end up spawning within other veins and small clusters due to 0000804).
TagsNo tags attached.

I seem to recall native platinum appearing as small clusters in 0.28.181.40d olivine, as well. A comparison of the relevant raws looks identical, so this appears to be an old bug; 0000804 may or may not be as well.

(Not that it being old makes it less of a bug, of course, just sayin'.)

0000804 is almost definitely a new bug, since the old version never spawned layer veins or small clusters inside of large clusters.

I'm assuming this occurs in v0.40, since the [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:CHROMITE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100] line is still in inorganic_stone_mineral.txt and Toady hasn't mentioned any changes in this area. Can anyone confirm this?

I ran several games in worlds with the mineral scarcity turned way down to 250 (to make lots of minerals appear) and plenty of olivine (just turned volcanism way up) and while I had plenty of filthy rich fortresses, I didn't find a single vein of native platinum, just small clusters. I think this bug still exists in v0.40.24.

It looks like when I put in the errorlogging for this years ago, I also managed to reverse the order of the materials vs. their inclusion type, so it thought platinum was supposed to be a vein in chromite and a small cluster in olivine. Every material with ENVIRONMENT_SPEC and multiple inclusion types would be affected.
