Nickel Ore

[Robocreator223]

I've been looking for nickel (and titanium) for about 5 hours now. I've gone to -356 but I haven't found it yet. I haven't seen any unknown colors on the pinger besides yellow (which i found out is gold) I would like to be able to spawn in a few samples of it so i can make some ore pings, but no such luck. I've played 18 hours on this save and I'd really rather not have to restart.

Build a macerator and throw about 10 basic conveyors in it.

I found some at around -370
barely any, but enough for some pings
YAY

Nickel becomes more common below about -400. Looking closer to the toxic cavern will yield better results.

And for titanium ping: shoot a slime in cold caverns

5 Hours?

Just dig straight down and ping every 50 meters. Should take 5 minutes, not 5 hours.

T2 ores "begin" to apear at like, -300, -350 and -400. Or something like that.

So dig down to -500 and scan. You'll find plenty of each.

I know. It was a tad bit insane, but I found some.

Its around 400, you might want to dig a little bit deeper. A good idea is to use macerators. Grinding spoiled parts will get you T2 ores easily (also grinding iron/lithium ore yields high amounts of T2 ore). This allows you to build an early 2nd smelter and use the ore ping.
