      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

B2-P16 Kimberlite not mineable?

8 posts in this topic

I don't see any mention about this but since I just found a nice vein of Kimberlite for the first time I tried to mine it. The block just breaks and leaves nothing.

Just wondering if it was only me?

Kimberlite drops diamonds - it isn't an ore in itself. Other than that, it's pretty much just a standard rock. Check the wikipedia page on it for more.

Sometimes you've got to break bunch of kimberlite blocks before you'll get a diamond drop, so if you're after those gems just mine out as much as you can. :)

I was just wondering since every other block in the mod actually drops something when you break it and I broke about 10 of the Kimberlite and it just kinda went poof.

Not all blocks drop something all of the time. Clay is the most obvious example here. it seems to drop from 0 to 3 clay per block. with a tendency towards the lower end of the scale.

Also. there is a random chance that a gem suitable to the rock you are mining will drop. a low random chance. kimberlite is just another type of rock. a useless rock in fact. it has no uses at all on it's own since it's just too soft. but it's the only known rock type that contains diamonds afaik.

Is it possible that it could be converted into a gravel-like material? Or maybe the waste of mining kimberlite could go towards a pavement/concrete material? Though I think that'd just be pointless anyway to add either of those options in heh.

Not yet. They may have use in the future.
