Where can I find the newly added sulfur in the game?

Sulfur can be found in grasslands and tundras, note that it will only be available on worlds that were generated after Update 11.1. If a dedicated server is used, WorldGenerator.eco also needs to have been updated from the template first.

I was looking in the new WorldGenerator.eco.template to try and find this out myself, and I saw the entries for crushed Sulfur in Grasslands (id 29) and block sulfur in grasslands (id 27 and 39 at different depths), but I thought Id 123 was in warm forest at depth 20-30, and Id 189 was in Tundra at depths 30-100. Id 189 is also the largest deposits (block count 15 - 68) and is the only sulfur entry with "spawnatleastone=true", so while I was looking at exposed shallow grassland tiles, I was concentrating most of my attention on Tundra.

I could easily be reading the file wrong, but knowing which biome that forced sulfur spawn is in will make a difference. I also saw in another thread that finding sulfur in the world may become a convenience rather than a necessity when the hotfix drops that removes sulfur from the first cement recipe so that worlds converted from 11.0 are not locked out of modern tech, so it might all be a moot point in a week or two.

You are of course correct, I confused the cold forest with the tundra.

Good to know!

That file is text, but that doesn't make it easy to read. I would certainly have believed that I was the one making the mistake.

[SLG-Dennis]

I would not, your answers are literally always correct, haha.

May I ask at what depth of grassland or tundra can sulfur be found?

In Grassland, crushed Sulfur can show up at depth 0-1 (so surface or one tile down), block Sulfur from 1-3 and 8-12. For Tundra, block Sulfur is depth 30+ (in theory not deeper than 100, but mountains high enough for that to matter are rare). The grassland spawn is subject to random chance and a low probability, but the Tundra spawn is forced, so if you look long enough under the Tundra biome, you should eventually find at least one deposit. The various rock drills will help keep you from needing to strip-mine they entire biome, but the deposits are on the small side, so I would recommend drill-sampling about every 5 tiles so you are less likely to miss it (with something like copper or gold, the deposits are bigger, so a sample spacing of 10 tiles is usually enough to find those).
