      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      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.

Help, can't find any veins/ores

4 posts in this topic

First, Good morning.

I was playing with a friend and as soon as we made our first pickaxe and prospector's pick, I intended to go mining.

The problem is, I can't find ore. anywhere. I tried smashing rocks on the surface, I got like 4 stacks and nothing, tried mining when prospector's pick found something, and I've found nothing. It's really getting annoying and redudant, We can't do anything without ores...

Ore blocks look different from normal rock.  There's no ore 'hidden' inside a normal looking stone block.   Prospectors pick only tells you when ore is near.  You still have to search around to find it.   If the block you propicked does not show ore veins, you will get no ore from it.  You might want to find a good lets-play series and watch it, to get an idea of what to expect.

No, I tried to say that I got the stones at the surface (the small rocks) and there wasn't any ore with then, because the wiki says that when you pick-up a stone and it comes with a piece of ore, the vein is underneath this stone.

Ok, again, what you describe does not happen.  Picking up surface stones does not reveal secret ore underneath them.  The ore has it's own nuggets that show up on the surface.  You'll see them laying on the ground, just like you see stones.  You just have to run around searching till you find them.  If you're getting propick readings on the surface, without finding nuggets, then I'd imagine you're getting readings of non-metals (gypsum, Kaolinite, etc), which do not leave nuggets on the surface.  Because in order to get propick readings, the metal must be close enough to the surface to leave nuggets.
