      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.

[B77.21] Obtaining of silver

11 posts in this topic

Hello

 

I need help. I need a silver, but i can't find it anywhere! I have searched miles from my home, but nothing. I found gneiss and granite under level 75 ( is that middle layer ? ) . I know, silver is rare and spawns only in middle and lower layer in gneiss and granite, but I think you should make it spawns more often. It's just a game so it doesn't have to be so realistic. I'm in a steel age and I can't make something better that steel without silver. I need it. Probably I'm not the only one who has the same problem. Or if you want to have TFC still realistic, add some more silver bearing ores or minerals, like argentite or chlorargyrite. Something from wikipedia: Most silver is produces as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead and zinc refining. Please, I need you help, we players of TerraFirmaCraft need it.

 

Thank you.

silver has about the same generation rate as hematite

 This really helped me, thank you

 

Not entirely sure how it could have helped, I was just saying it's not incredibly rare, it's mostly down to luck :/

But hes right, Dunk, native silver isn't the only silver-bearing ore.

Where did you mine? On what level in gneiss and granite? I've seen it in granite on level 60 in one of my worlds. By luck, as Dunk says.

It really is mostly luck. I have always had a hard time finding silver but this current world I have 2 veins near spawn that are so large, I will never use it all.

Yeah, but gold is supposed to be rarer than silver. I got 7 gold ingots and just 3 silver ones. It should be like 7 gold ingots and 11 silver ones or so. Native silver should generate near galena veins. I got a geology book, and it tells that:

 

-Native silver is common near galena

-There is a silver ore called argentium

Your sample size is way too small. Just because you happened across gold and not silver doesn't speak for how common it is.

Native Silver is rare and much silver is produced from silver-bearing minerals such as prousite, pyrargyrite, galena, etc.

Associated Minerals are silver minerals such as acanthite and prousite, cobaltite, copper, zeolites and quartz.
