      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      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.

[Solved] How do I find silver?

5 posts in this topic

In my current world, I live 500 to 1000 blocks from spawn, and I cant seem to find any silver. I have a vein of graphite and 4 veins of nickel right outside my house, I want to create black steel, but obviously I need silver... my seed has everything except silver. How do I find it?

I don't think there's a secret to finding silver. In fact, I think you're pretty lucky to have so much nickel, since it only spawns in one rock type. Silver spawns in two rock types: granite and gneiss. Find one of these covering a large area and prospect the crap out of it. These rock types can spawn below the surface layer, though, so you should dig some shafts at random intervals across your world to discover the underlying rock layers. I've covered over 10,000 block ranges, and still haven't come across nickel or silver (nuggets or prospecting). However, I haven't tried digging many deep holes yet. (Also, according to others, you're pretty lucky to have graphite, too.)

As said granite and gneiss. Granite can spawn in all 3 rock layers and gneiss is top and middle only. So just search about. Check rock around water springs, hot spring or regular fresh water. That rock type will be the bottom layer in that area. Big hills/mountains will frequently show a second rock type, that is second layer. Remember rock layers change independently.
