      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.

This is info from survival only. If you have, can you tell me more about it? Perhaps screenies? Rock type spawned in?

while I have found diamonds, Ive never seen any kimberlite... I wasnt even aware it spawned :| I guess ill go wiki it.

-edit ill be damned... it does exist! at least on the wiki. I imagine its like borax or other mineral types which are exceedingly rare. In all the time I've played TFC Ive only found borax once. Seems to me if its not Saltpeter or gypsum, and its a mineral.. youre probably not going to find it easily, if at all.

The wiki has info on it, spawns in gabbro, gives diamonds(TFC diamonds) they are useless.

Really? That's cool... So I guess people have found kimberlite. Now can any of you remember the stone type you found the Kimberlite in?

its vain structure is rather odd

instead of the regular clumps and long veins, kimberlite ore spawns in long shaft like structures (i guess similar to how real diamond mines form)

Once I have constructed Moria, I will find that ellusive Kimberlite.

LAYMAN'S TERMS: No, I have not discovered Kimberlite as of this post.

I have found kimberlite, albeit in build 74. And what Infinus said is correct. Instead of forming large, voluminous and spherical-ish veins, they are literally this, few block wide, long, shaft-like veins in the gabbro. And I have only found it in Gabbro, as the wiki says.

Funny how I have found Pitchblende faster than I found Kimberlite... You would think diamonds would be easier to find than uranium...

If you want a use for diamonds then enable diamond conversion recipes and vanilla recipes in the TFC config file. It will give you more stuff to build once you've exhausted the few products TFC offers. It also gives an incentive to build automated sand dispensing sluice arrays, since sluices can produce diamonds rarely.

In an older build (68 I think?) I found a HUUUUGE kimberlite vein. It was not a log, it was just a big-ass blob of probably 200-400 blocks. I spent a very long time mining it out (because I was curious) and ended up with a total of roughly one stack of diamonds as a result. Not too bad. I've never seen one since.

Vein of Kimberlite was the thing that brought me to my first Garnierite deposit.

Some people in my server did earlier today, actually. It was pretty funny watching them totally spaz out when they got traces, and even funnier when the chat got flooded because they were celebrating when they mined their first diamonds.

This pun war might turn like anti-gravity; we can't put it down. But on the topic of chemistry jokes: they might be old, and dead, but I can never Barium.
