Translations:Ore Deposits/284/en
From Vintage Story Wiki
Deep ores are not indicated by surface deposits in loose stones. Most deep ores can only be found by luck or by exploratory mining guided by a prospecting pick . Some ores, such as saltpeter, cannot be detected by the prospecting pick and must be found while exploring caverns. Gemstones do not have ore grades, but have low, medium or high potential blocks instead. For the sake of page length, ores and minerals that have no in-game uses have been omitted.
