![]() ![]() By "following the gravel" you will increase your chances of finding more ore blocks. Ore blocks are always bordered by either another ore block or a gravel block, you will almost never find an ore block completely surrounded by stone. The image to the right shows a very large ore deposit underground with no surface node attached. Ore field with surface node circled in green Random Mining Īlthough surface nodes are a sure-fire way to find big underground deposits, there is ore all over the place underground and you can have great luck just digging where you are and exploring. The image to the right shows a large underground ore field marked by a surface node (lead, in this case, but you can see different types of ores mixed in). If you continue to dig deeper and wider, you will likely uncover a vast deposit of whatever ore was at the surface potentially along with other ores mixed in. The easiest way to find ore is to look for surface nodes of each ore type and start digging there.Įach node is itself a full ore block, and directly beneath it will be 2-3 additional ore blocks. Surface nodes of all other ore types can be found scattered around everywhere and regardless of the surface node type, underground there will likely be a mix of several ores. See Following Gravel for more.Īs of about Alpha 18, any ore can be found in any biome except for Oil Shale which is found only in the desert and replaces Coal. In both cases, mining underground gravel will lead you to more ore. ![]() There are two ways to find them - surface nodes and random mining. Surface boulders can be mined directly for Small Stone. Normal forest terrain will produce Clay Soil, Desert terrain will produce Clay Soil and Sand in equal measure, and Gravel (on gravel roads) will produce a mix of Sand and Small Stone. These tools can be viewed and compared here.Ĭommon materials such as Clay Soil, Stone, and Sand can be found almost anywhere. For hard blocks including Stone, Iron Ore, Coal Ore, Potassium Nitrate, Lead Ore, and Oil Shale, Stone Axe can be used in the early game with Iron Pickaxe, Steel Pickaxe and Auger being progressively more efficient. For softer terrain, such as dirt, sand and gravel, a Shovel or an Auger will work best. Equipping an Appropriate Tool will greatly speed up the mining process. While Mining can be done using Fists, doing so would be tedious and painful. As in all types of Harvesting, materials are extracted from blocks as they are damaged and/or destroyed by your efforts.
