Tar Hunt

[Aman5145]

Hey CV Community,


I was trying to find tar and was mining in the Stalcitite and Fossil Layers but I still couldn't find it. Is there any other way to get tar or is there a better way to locate it such as a certain sound it makes while flowing?

Thank you

look in natural caves. I've found most of mine in caves. Then once I find some I make a tar fountain somewhere near my base so I have an endless supply of it.

What layer Specifically?

Stalagtite caves, you can often find it in the same caves as mineral water.

Find large caverns along the shore. There will be a cave under water or a cave entrance near the coast. You normally will find a tar fall down in the siltstone layer. Mineral water in around 20 squares away. Of cause you'll need to check a few out before you find it. Also a good way of looking for iron and what not.

I agree. Natural caves. That's where I have found it each time. I've also noticed that it tends to be right between the Fossil and Stalagtite layers.

In one cave, I found both tar and mineral water flowing together. The tar on top and the mineral water underneath. Can't remember which map it was though, sorry.

Adding to the other tips, if you explore a stone cave and find a lot of fossils in one place, there's a good chance that tar is somewhere nearby. Same with magnetite, in my experience.

Tar is actually hard to come by, and it's one of the most random finds in the game. You can explore a ton of caves, and find none, or be lucky and find tar on your first try.

Digging is the wrong approach to finding tar. The only way is to explore caves.Tar supposedly is found in the Fossil layer, but most frequently you will find tar falls that start in the fossil layer and spill down to the Stalactite layer, making lakes there.

Also, the bigger and more spread a cave is, the higher chances of finding tar you have.

That said, I haven't found tar in all the worlds I've explored. In some cases, I had to ask other players for some, or to point me to a cave where tar can be found.

A trick you can use for finding tar if you are playing in your own private world is to take note of the world template your world has, and then check public worlds with the same template for caves where tar has been found (ask players in the public word, basically). Take note of the coordinates, and then go to those coordinates in your own world. You will find tar there.

TY guys I found a giant pool in a natural cave in a sand pit

Great :)

Now that you've found some, you should take a look at Saraneth's Tarinator (in the video section)... you'll never run out of tar ever again :)

I know, right? It was an awesome idea to have liquid falls on demand (although my liquid harvest falls are non-phasered).

Personaly I do a simplified version (5x5 fall, 6ish block high) with no frill except a basin (to avoid flow) and some sort of support for the phasers. Also, since a player in Helping Hands teached me a lesson, I always use an arcsign to create a X target ;) (edit : you need an inverter in there between the switch/phasers/sign... somehow the sign does not turn on the same way the phasers do).

I usualy do another side by side for water (ice).

Then I could keep on for how I'd set-up liquid based spawners... but keep looking for the next BOC to see the upgraded version :D
