![]() The other nine patches may have nothing but gravel in them. If there are 10 patches of gravel next to boulders on the surface, you may have to sample all 10 patches before finding ore in the 10th patch. Please be aware, you aren't going to find ore every time you sample gravel on the surface. But, the original iron ore vein was discovered on the surface by digging out a patch of gravel, and finding iron ore in that gravel. The nitrate and lead were just lucky finds because I was just looking for iron ore at the time. I found three different resources: iron ore, nitrate, and lead. The ore will be around that gravel.įor example, the very first mine that I dug in Alpha 17.1 Stable. Once underground, look for large pockets of gravel and dig them out with your shovel. Follow the vein into the ground and you should find the specific resource that was in the gravel. ![]() If there are any resources (ore) underground, it will be indicated in the gravel. What you have to do is find surface gravel (which will be next to surface boulders) and dig it out at least one block. So I'm not wasting YOUR time, here's what I already know about mining for ore-thus, you don't have to mention any of these techniques:Įach biome has specific resources in the ground: Forest has lead snow biome and wasteland has nitrate desert has oil shale and burnt forest has coal. I would appreciate it if anyone reading this could offer some advice in finding oil shale veins on the surface in the desert (that are supposedly located next to boulders). I suppose I could just find a bunch of boulders and dig straight down however, I prefer a method that's a bit more precise. I'm at a point in the game where I really need to find oil shale. ![]() I do notice a very slight white coloration sometimes, so I'm guessing that might be the gravel unfortunately, it's very difficult to see. The coloring of the sand is very evenly smoothed and color differentiation is almost nonexistent. Here's the problem: I'm having trouble identifying the gravel deposits in the desert sand. ![]() THIS INFO IS FROM ONE OF MY PREVIOUS POSTS HOPE IT HELPS YOU TO FIND WHATEVER ORE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR! ![]()
