      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.

Question: Why does breaking some stone return different rocks?

I've just found some new rock types as I've been exploring, although I guess I've always had this issue.

 

My base is in an EXTREMELY large Chert area, and breaking it yields Limestone rocks, which I never really thought about as limestone is great for flux! I now need the ever elusive Graphite, so I've been exploring and I've finally found...Limestone, but breaking that yields Shale rock!

 

How do I know it's Limestone (which I don't think it is, because it's dark) NEI tells me. Either the names are all screwey or NEI is reading the wrong thing or something is all messed up.

 

Is this a bug? If so I'll raise it properly, at the moment I'm just wondering how I'll fine Graphite if the rocks I get don't match the stone I'm finding, and how will I be able to tell what I'm doing!

NEI is wrong.

 

Edit: If you are truly breaking chert and getting limestone, then you are breaking blocks that look like this:

And getting rocks that look like this:

Quite a very obvious change in color.

 

This is what raw limestone looks like:

And this is what a chert rock looks like:

Edit 2: The fastest way to tell what type of stone it really is, is to quarry out a raw stone block.

Which is done by mining out every single block around the raw stone. When it is officially not touching any other blocks, the raw stone will drop as an item with the correct name.
