Cant find any magnetite

[key]

Ive been looking for a hour now, i got 7, and i only need one more to craft my obsidian mining cell, but i can barely find magnetite, ive explored the fossil biome, and i got as much as i could out of veins of magnetite, but i only got 7 and now i cant find anymore veins, i try to explore caves, but to no avail, no magnetite.

I am swimming in magnetite and seem to have run out of iron. In fact, as I dig for iron and can't seem to locate ANY, I have more diamonds than I have things to do with them.

If you aren't looking in multiple caves, I'd try that. Usually, you can find at least a couple magnetite sections visible without any digging in new caves. Beyond that, you just have to start digging out tunnels until you hit some. If you find one block of magnetite, usually there is more roughly adjacent. I have found groups of 20 blocks all clustered together.

The only thing I can suggest for the magnetite is try a different cave. They're also a possible drop from rocksters, but I think it's rare.

Be sure you're not thread mining. That means, don't mine in a straight line and make long cooridors. Also, don't be content to mine only what you see on the surface. I mine every block and make a network of "catwalks" to walk on. Strip mining yields many more of the blocks that would seem in short supply otherwise.

So, i should make a straight line, then long corridors?

[RealGrumm]

No, I said do not thread mine. Mine every block. Your magnetite could be under one of those blocks your just walking by.

If I could stay connected long enough, i would take a screen shot of a mine with all it's blocks mined. It's a giant chasm with a grid like layout of paths and stairs.

luminite is the easiast find...and diamond is a joke you can just make as much as you want.magnite is everywhere just below the surface in most caves especially

I know those things, lumnite and diamond are the most easy ores to find.

Its called watching videos before you play the game to learn how it works.

Dont try to start a arguement with me, i really dont care if you are trying, also if you have 5000 of everything, you must have 1000s of chests, and why would you play the game that much? it would of got boring imo..

[BobbI Jo]

[BobbI Jo]
