      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.

Possible glitch with Native Copper Ore spawning

3 posts in this topic

I've been playing terrafirmacraft for sometime.  I learned about it around 6-8 months ago and played it for a while and then stopped like i do with all mods/games.  One thing i always remember though is a glitch that occured on my single player world that made "fake" copper ore.  The prospecters pick would give postive results for a very large amount of ore in a large area, when i was playing on this i tryed many times to find the ore,  eventually i go fustruated and i went in creative mod and carded out a huge chunck of rock with smashing and tnt and found nothing.  Later on i did start a new world with my friend and we found native copper.  Now on my new world me and my friend started the same thing seems to be happening with native copper.  Ive been mining for a really long time and it seems like i trangulated a large area but its extrememly large and unrealistic for it to be ore, im getting "very large" in a atleast 35x35 area.  Ive been in creative went farther than that and at certain levels i get "very large" still.  Can somebody help me here or is this just a bad glitch? i was hoping this would be fixed by now but i guess not.

Yeah me grammmar not zo good

Are you getting other readings other than "Very Large"? such as "Nothing of Interest"? If so, then the propick is working correctly. If not, try logging out and back in to see if the issue had to do with client/server lag.

 

Ore veins can actually be quite huge, so getting a reading of "very large" over a 35x35 area is pretty normal.

 

I suggest you read the guides on the wiki about properly using the prospectors pick, as using it incorrectly will just be an exercise in frustration. It's very possible that the "huge chunk of rock" that you took out in creative could have been as far as 12 blocks away from the vein in any direction including up or down, and would still give the very large readings.

Here's a big clue to figuring out the prospector pick: think about what must be happening when the pro-pick goes from a reading of "very large" to a smaller (but still positive) reading.
