Icarus
Finding cave
How to find a cave? Do they spawn in forest? Do they spawn in mountains that are borders for forest biome? Known cave locations?

There's known cave locations.

A lot of people used the site icarusintel. I still do.

Someone started a different site (I can't remember it's name), which isn't wrong.... it's just not complete. Icarusintel I have never seen to be wrong. But there's a lot of stuff missing from the new one. You'll be staring right at in on screen, and it won't be on the new site.

On icarusintel, there's a blue stripe on the left side of the screen. Click on that to open up a control panel. Choose the map, and it will change to that map. You can filter what shows (it's a funnel icon, something like 2nd or 3rd from the top). It shows MUCH more then just caves.

Icarusintel notes the general size of the cave, approximate number of nodes, whether it has worms or not (some cave do not have worms), and other misc trivia about the cave.

The only thing it doesn't really document is that on prometheus, the distribution of the ores is not random, and certain ores only really show up in certain biomes. Like you need to go to the lava biome caves to really find titanium and platinum in any great quantity. Gold is more like in the southern arctic biome, etc.
Положения пещер неизменные, все пользуются этим сайтом, там слева вверху можно выбрать какую именно хочешь карту для отображения; также на пещеру можно щелкнуть чтобы промаркировать что ты её уже посетил. итд

i found this site , thinking this one is the one William was talking about. https://mapgenie.io/icarus/maps/icarus

I was wondering if there were any caves without worms. As I can not seem to get past them yet.

Bow and arrow, or run at them with a spear, should take them out fairly easy, just remember to dodge the venom, but it doesnt hurt that much.

The cave locations in the game are fixed. Once you've found a few and can identify the areas that clearly are voxels that can be mined to uncover the cave you will spot them pretty easily.

no,there is a really small amount of them
Some caves have a solid wall of rock blocking the entrance. That rock can be mined to create an opening.

There's a chance you've been walking right by the caves without realizing that. Use 3rd party sites which show maps with cave locations, or build the cave scanner.

The cave scanner is just a handheld device. It doesn't attract hostile creatures.
