Can't find obsidian

[zapril]

I can't find obsidian where i find it ?

in the fossil layer. First layer is air, second layer is dirt, sand, water, third layer is stone, limestone, bedrock

Fossil layer is the third layer.

Fossil layer is also exposed at the base of canyon islands. If you can find some canyon island, you'll find open, exposed obsidian on the surface. It is also exposed on many mountains

Huh?

AFAIK, the layers or levels are:

• Surface
  
• Fossil
  
• Stalactite
  
• Lava
  
• Corruption

Though strictly speaking Obsidian belongs to the Fossil level, you can find some on the surface. If you see some mountains, try climbing there. It's quite common to find coal and obsidian on plain sight without having to venture in caves.

Look for darker blocks in the stony part of the mountains. Coal is kind of "clear black", while obsidian is "dark blck".

I simplified it for them, they can't find obsidian for the love of pete. Sometimes you have to modify things to help someone who just doesn;t get it. Besides, none of the layers are numbered. I supposed stone is second layer if you want to look at it that way (my bad)

digg down is easy to get

Well... Problem is that stone can be found both on the surface and fossil levels. Big mountains are basically made of stone blocks, and stone is also the "filler" material of the caves of the fossil layer.

Admitedly, the Mining cells are divided into Wood, Stone, Obsidian, Iron, Diamond and Lumite, but both the Stone and Obsidian Mining Cells are created from materials in the fossil level.

wow I never realized the progression....

So each layer's top cell, requires stuff from the next layer down. I suppose I knew that intrinsicly, but never thought about it.

You can find obisidian on the surface too, usually on the s ides of big mountains and also in the surface caves where rivers loop through mountains/hills.

i though i had found a motherlode of coal, then it tok ages to mine some of the coal... turned out it was obsidian. XD was not deep (10 15 blocks) in the ground thou, just in a shallow cave in a plains biome.

No guys. Thats a common bug that started in the last patch. Some times you may not find a node for a long time, its a generation bug i had it with iron nodes but a week later i was overflowing with them. So really you just gotta wait a bit and here you go.
