Magnetite is a dual metal ore, supplying a very tiny amount of platinum along with the iron.īorax has had its spawn rate increased slightly in Rock Salt. Reworked ore distribution as ore was not spread out enough. A type of default will spawn the ore in clusters.
#DWARF FORTRESS QUERN MOD#
Other mod ores can be added to this file to have them generate with TFC's terrain. TFCOre.cfg is used to determine the world generation of ores. In addition, these ores and minerals still exist, but do not currently spawn in the world: Microcline, Olivine, Petrified Wood, Satinspar, Selenite, Serpentine These ores are mainly intended for compatibility with other mods.


Ores and Minerals generate in two different shapes: veins and clusters. One poor ore produces 15 metal units, one normal ore produces 25 metal units, and one rich ore produces 35 metal units. When the world generates an ore vein, it has a 20% chance to be rich, a 30% chance to be poor, and a 50% chance to be normal.

Ore veins are completely made up of a single type of ore: poor, normal or rich. One small ore/nugget produces 10 metal units. If using the prospector's pick on the surface in an area where small ore pieces are found, and only negative readings are given, it means that the vein is deeper underground.Ĭopper, gold, and platinum native nuggets can also be found using a Gold Pan.ĭepending on the type of ore, it's smaller counterpart is either called a nugget for native metals, or a small ore for the rest. Note: The maximum distance from the surface to a vein required for a small ore piece to generate is larger than the scanning range of the Prospector's Pick. This means that it is possible to find small ore pieces in areas where the top layer of stone is not able to spawn the ore. However, in areas where the top layer is thin enough, the vein may be located in the upper section of the middle stone layer. In the majority of cases, it is a sample of a vein in the top layer of stone. These are samples of what ore veins are located within 35 blocks underneath the soil, so they're somewhat important. Small ores can be found scattered around on the surface of the ground.
