 Aim of this mod is to replace all generic stone (default:stone) and 
 generate underground layers of different rocks.

 Features

+This mod nor minetest_game/default do not define meaningful biomes. 
+So if you do not want unlimited grassland I suggest installing the 
+[Paramat's biomesdev mod](https://github.com/paramat/biomesdev) and adding 
+"rocks?" to depends.txt file inside the biomesdev folder. This is needed, 
+becouse "rocks" overrides the standard biome registration callback to patch 
+in it's own sedimentary rocks.

 How the underground is generated: *todo*.
 
 Mod has been rewritten, so no doc yet.
+
+The sedimentary layer
+-------------
+
+Is implemented by modifiing MGv7 biomes to use rocks's sedimentary rocks. 
+This means that you need mapgen v7 enabled. I also suggest enabling caves 
+and dungeons, as they are cool. 
+
+Soil is normlly 50-70 cm deep in real life, so I made soil (dirt) only 1 
+block thick. Under this thin layer of dirt an sedimentary layer is located. 
+In RL, there is clay and other stuff.
+
+There are various types of sedimentary rock. They are generated according 
+to 2D noises described below.
+
+types = Clastic, Biochemical,  Chemical, Vulcano/Other
+
+| X      | tp2<0.76     | tp2>0.7 |
+|--------|--------------|--------|
+| tp1<0.2 |   Clastic    |  Chemical |
+| tp1>0.2 | BioChemical  |  Vu/Ot |
+
+- Noise_tp1( 50)= type1
+- Noise_tp2( 70)= type2
+- Noise_vc(100)= particle size
+- Noise_sp(220)= pressue/ hardness
+
+I. 2D: fast, acceptable imho <-(used)
+II. 3D: nice
+
+### Clastic sediments
+
+Made from large or small particles. Either loose or bound into stones.
+
+(particle size: top-large botom-small)
+
+(hargness: loose -> solid)
+
+1. gravel -> conglomerate
+2. sand -> sandstone
+3. mudstone
+4. clay -> claystone -> slate
+
+### BioChemical sediments
+
+Made from acient plants and creatures that died long ago and turned into rock.
+
+Noise_vs: kind of sediment: (top) oil, Limestone, other, carbon-based
+
+Noise_sp: low quality -> high quality
+
+1. oil: ?
+2. Limestone
+3. other: fosfates, silicates, hornfels (unimp)
+4. carbon-based: Lignite -> Coal -> Anthracite
+
+### Chemical sediments
+
+Created by chemical or physics/chemical reactions.
+
+- Evaporites (unimp)
+
+### Vulanic and extraterrestrial sediments
+
+???
+
+The Igenous layer
+--------------
+
+Default stone is aliased to basalt, but for some reason the alias is not 
+working so please treat stone as basalt until I find way to fix it.
+
+Everything below sedimentary and (unimp) metamorphic layer is of igneous origin. Primary rock is basalt. But about half of basalt is replaced by granite. Some smaller fraction (like 20%) is then replaced by diorite and gabbro.
+These are the primary rocks, and more should come.
+
+### Mineral distribution
+
+Mineral ore is placed only in nodes of correct rock and only if the region 
+for the ore is right. These "mineral biomes" can and do overlap and change 
+every like 100 nodes. Following regions are defined:
+
+| Region  | minerals
+|---------|----------
+| Copper  | Chalcopyrite, Malachyte
+| Pb/Zn   | Sphalerite, Galena
+| Iron    | Magnetite
+
+### Skarn deposits
+
+Are larg-ish (15-20m) blobs of skarn stone. They spawn only in granite and 
+limestone. Copper, Lead, Zinc and Iron ores often enrich the skarn stone. 
+Some deposits may (unimp) contain considerable amounts of Molybenium, 
+Uranium and Wolfram ores.
+
+Concentration of the minerals is quite high, as to regard the player for 
+finding a not-so-common skarn vein.
+
+### Pegmatite veis
+
+Spawn only in granite. Are bit larger than skarn veins. Contain minerals 
+like skarn and more exotic minerals.
