Ore Gen map or info?

[Blue Hasia]

Is there a page that can show or tell more info how 19 ore gen appears?

like for minecraft we got all info of for the y levels and how often they can appear per lvl range.

not really asking about the surface nodes more for the hidden deposits under ground.

Especially y range for how low they can appear.

to me it seems everything spawns close to the surface and no ore gen really appears to deep underground and that lead is the least one to spawn randomly underground

Mine under surface nodes. How far a vein goes is uncertain.

You say 'not asking about surface nodes', but, Tbh, I haven't found an ore vein underground that wasn't telegraphed by a surface node. Dig directly under surface nodes and you find an ore node- EAch node is comprised of 2-4 different kinds of ore, of which one of them is guaranteed to be the same kind as the rock on the surface. These nodes then can extend just a few blocks down, or all the way to bedrock.

You can of course just dig around at random a la minecraft, but, you'll basically just be finding veins that are marked by a surface node. I guess given that most/all nodes begin from the surface, that being near the surface is the best place to tunnel around? Kinda?

There are ore pockets scattered all over under ground that are not linked to surface nodes

I am doing two games right now at same time one solo one co op with friends and each base only had one iron node on the surface nearby but i just went under ground and dug a tunnel in all 4 directions and in about 50-100 blocks i found hidden under ground ore pockets

its always more often iron then either coal or nitrate then least found is lead.

If you really want to, ahem, dig deep into this, it’s all laid out in Config/biomes.xml.
