      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.

      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.

Few more questions

5 posts in this topic

So, I have chests full of Limonite and Magnetite, but I have not found any copper yet. How is this possible? Today, I just stumbled across useless ores like jet and gypsum. What do I have to do, so I can get the first tier tools? (I still use stone tools and I've hit the bedrock level)

The other question is: How do you make stonebricks? I really want to start smelting all that ore, I have everything else except a bloomery now.

I am inpatient and I don't want any other spoilers, so I don't watch playtroughs and videos.

If the wiki was completed, I wouldn't have to post this topic to bother you guys, but I really have no other choice and I'm stuck in the game.

go treck across the landscape til you find a rock type called granite.

how to recognize an area with granite beneath the topsoil:

granite is an almost completely white boulder textured rock, and the soil on top of it will have a really noticeable white tint to it.

The ore you are looking for here is called

Cassiterite

Ores that can be smelted at the Firepit:

  • Casseterite (Tin)
  • Sphalerite (Zinc)
  • Bismuthinite (Bismuth)
  • Copper
In exception of the Copper, all of those can be worked into Ingots and Tools at Stone Anvil using Stone Hammer. So, in fact, you can "start with" any of those 3.

You need to:

  • Find Casseterite/Sphalerite/Bismuthinite
  • Gather f.e. Granite Block ( mine out blocks in + patter around target block, it will "pop out")
  • Create an Stone Anvil and Tools
  • Kill some Chickens, Squids and Reeds for their belongings
  • Craft Scribing Table, piece of paper and Markings(out of ink sacks)
  • Craft Chisel Head Blueprint
  • Smelt the ore at the Firepit using the best found Wood Logs pref. Hickory's
  • Work the ore into an Ingot
  • Work the Ingot into the Chisel Head with Blueprint
  • Craft Chisel then use it to make Bricks
  • Build the Bloomery
  • Done.

copper can spawn everywhere so its really hit or miss whether or not you find it. use the prospectors pick to try and locate ores. the ore you need to create your first stone brick is a starting metal, tin(cassiterite), bismuth, or zinc(sphalerite). once you have the ores you need, smelt them on the firepit using the hotter burning woods. you have to create a scribe table to make the plans for the chisel, just put it into the anvil with the heated ingot and line up the arrows and viola you have a chisel. the chisel is used in the crafting interface with stone of any type to make it into stone bricks, which is used in the crafting recipe for a bloomery.

i would suggest looking at the spotters guide cause he has everything in steps that you need to do.

I just found out about the prospector's pick :D

It's pretty inaccurate though, I broke 7 picks looking for a very large vein of sphalerite until I gave up. I should try different tehnique next time.

E. Found the very large vein. It is very large indeed.
