      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.

Help Finding Gabbro

3 posts in this topic

I've wandered 8500 blocks in x axis, about 9000 on the z, I've dug 6-10 test pits going down all 3 layers and I cannot find gabbro. (Of course, I'm looking for nickel for Black steel). Any suggestions?

There isn't any special tricks to finding any of the stone types as far as I know. I had to travel 13000 blocks in 2 directions until I could finally find rock salt. One thing that is really annoying to me in TFC is how hard it is to find certain materials. I understand the game is about exploration, but 10k long oceans is not exploration, it's death by boredom. However I can suggest one thing. If you're sailing by a boat, change the "walk forward" button to spacebar and place something heavy on it, so it will "automatically" sail for you, though it is dangerous because if you smash into land, your boat will break and you might end up drowning, so make sure to check every 5 minutes or so.

As SnoopyMicrobe34 says there isn't a pattern to where the rock types are located. Maybe it would have been nice to have certain stone types more common in colder/wetter/mountainous areas though.

I think everyone who's played TFC has horror stories of travelling 5k+ looking for something, I remember a few treks that weren't much fun so I certainly sympathise. Your question also reminds me that I haven't yet seen Gabbro in my current world.

One way to speed up long boat journeys is to use LEFT-CTRL to 'sprint' in the boat, it also works while swimming plus obviously running. Maybe everybody knows that, but I can't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere & I suspect it isn't an intended feature.
