Trouble finding veins in B79 - bad luck or bug?

Started by nickasummers,

I have been playing TFC since charcoal pits dropped items, so I know how to prospect. But in B79 I keep finding nuggets on the surface, digging down, and finding a mineral and not a trace of the metal I found. I can't find sphalerite because the 4 places i have found clusters of nuggets on the ground I dug down and found kaolinite, or lignite, or bituminous coal, but never even traces of sphalerite. I had the same problem with tetrahedrite but I eventually did find a location with an actual vein.

 

So what is going on? Is there an actual vein deeper down? is a bug causing nuggets to see metal when there is really a mineral? Has anyone else even had this problem?

 

 

Edit: ha, I'm an idiot, sphalerite doesnt even spawn in the rock layer i found the nuggets on top of, the vein was at the top of the second layer

Something else to note is that the propick simply gives the reading of the most abundant ore/mineral in the area. Both lignite and bituminous coal are usually ridiculously massive veins, so you're going to have to mine the majority of that out until there is more sphalerite than coal in the area, and only then will the propick give readings for the sphal.
