Finding ore can be quite challenging. In Vintage Story, ores are deposited in specific [[Rock|rock layers]], broadly classified as sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous, and at specific depths. By using a [[prospecting pick]] as well as the information in this guide, players can more reliably find ores by understanding how they spawn.

Ores are distributed at random heights, in discs at various angles. Some ores have wider discs than others. Most discs average 5.5 blocks wide, though quartz discs are larger. The overall shape of the ore disc reflects the surface above and will always cover the same horizontal area. This means that regions with flat ground will have flat ore discs, and where the surface is jagged, the discs will be tilted and distorted. Thus, in flat areas, mining horizontally reduces the chances of finding an ore disc. This continues to be true until the surface is jagged enough that its slope is greater than the width of the ore disc.

[[File:Coordinates-system.png|thumbnail|right|The coordinates system in Vintage Story. Y=0 down at the mantle level. X=0 and Z=0 at the player's spawn point.]]


As of version 1.9, ores only appear in certain [[rock]] types. Many ores are only found in some host rocks, and different rocks can have different ore qualities. Examining a rock while holding (Sneak + H), will provide information about which ores can appear in that rock type.

As of version 1.9, ores only appear in certain {{ll|rock|rock}} types. Many ores are only found in some host rocks, and different rocks can have different ore qualities. Examining a rock while holding <code>Sneak + H</code>, will provide information about which ores can appear in that rock type.


<!--T:33-->
Ores are found in '''shallow''' deposits and '''deep''' deposits. The tables below provide information about disc generation for each ore type.
Ores are found in '''shallow''' deposits and '''deep''' deposits. The tables below provide information about disc generation for each ore type.


* '''Y min''' and '''Y max''': Ores are distributed throughout the range given by these values. The Y values reflect proportions of the ore's specific generator, i.e. if a deposit uses the sea level generator, then 0.5 is half the world's sea level.
<!--T:34-->
* '''Average radius''': the average width of the deposit along the X and Z coordinates  
* '''Y min''' and '''Y max''': Ores are distributed throughout the range given by these values, where 0 is the base of the world and 1 is the highest possible block. The Y values reflect proportions of the ore's specific generator, i.e. if a deposit uses the sea level generator, then 0.5 is half the world's sea level and 1 is one block above sea level.
* '''Average thickness''': the average height of the deposit along the Y coordinate.
:: For example, on a default 256-block high world, an ore with a Y range of 0 - 0.85 using the "anywhere" disc generator can spawn anywhere between 0 - 218 blocks up (rounding to the nearest whole block). Therefore, a player would have to dig down around 40 blocks before getting a chance of finding that ore.
* '''Tries per chunk''': how many times the game tries to generate a deposit in each map chunk.
* '''Average radius''': the average width of the deposit along the X and Z coordinates. The variation is included with the ± symbol. An ore with an average radius of 8 ± 2 means that it can have a radius of 6 - 10 blocks.
* '''Average thickness''': the average height of the deposit along the Y coordinate.
* '''Tries per chunk''': how many times the game tries to generate a deposit in each map chunk. More tries per chunk means that ore is more likely to be generated in that chunk.

For a detailed look at which ores can spawn in which stone types, refer to the list provided [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-KHSpw0-EoLt9XL1I20AhkmM8tnRu1qgBkz-d7hN2r4/edit#gid=0 here]. Special thanks to Cyphon for this overview.
Ores can be found in four different grades. From best to worst, they are Bountiful, Rich, Medium and Poor. The better the grade, the more nuggets are dropped per block.

While there are many types of stone in Vintage Story, some of them can spawn in specific layers. These form a sort of rock "biome", and the rock layer in an area dictates what types of ores can spawn there. There are three main types of rock layer, '''sedimentary''', '''metamorphic''' and '''igneous''', with a fourth type of '''volcanic''' rock (in reality a subset of igneous rock) that has different spawning rules.

Additionally, ores can be found in suevite rock, which is always an indication of meteor impact and found on the surface, and in kimberlite, an igneous rock found only near the core of the world.

<!--T:46-->
Shallow deposits can sometimes (but not always) be indicated by the presence of loose stones containing ore on the surface of the world. To craft metal tools, copper is the first metal ore players need to find. Surface native copper deposits are readily available sources of material available to players during early game stages, except for areas where the top stone layer is bauxite. In limestone areas, surface malachite deposits can be found, which is another type of copper ore.

<!--T:47-->
For the purposes of this guide, shallow ores are those that have a chance of spawning as a surface block with accompanying loose stones. They also have a chance to spawn quite close to the surface or sea level.

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 {{ll|prospecting pick|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.

'''Dry salt lakes''' can only spawn in sedimentary stone top layers in deserts. In a typical temperate spawn location, with a "realistic" banded climate and temperate start, you'll need to travel 13k+ blocks south to find true deserts. Gravel barrens, which you can find in temperate climates, are not hot enough. The dry salt lake will spawn directly on top of the stone in the region, but below the sand or gravel top layers. So it will take some shallow exploratory digging to find them. These dry salt lakes, while much easier to access than salt domes, will not give halite readings on the prospecting pick in Density Search mode, unlike salt domes. They are easier to find exposed in cliff faces, due to geologic upheaval.

=== Gold === <!--T:13-->
 
[[Gold]] only spawns in layers of quartz. Following a quartz layer is a good way to find it. [[Ore blasting bomb]]s can be utilized to great effect to clear out quartz.
 
=== Silver === <!--T:14-->


[[Silver]] can be found alongside gold in quartz deposits, but it can also be found in deposits of lead.
=== Gold and silver === <!--T:13-->


=== Cassiterite === <!--T:15-->
<!--T:50-->
{{ll|Gold|Gold}} and {{ll|silver|silver}} only spawns in layers of quartz. Silver additionally spawns in galena. Both gold and silver spawn in relatively small deposits, with a radius from 1 - 4 blocks and a thickness of 1 - 3 blocks. Silver can rarely appear as surface bits.


Cassiterite is used to make [[Bronze|tin bronze]], one of the three bronze alloys that can be used to advance to the iron working stages of the game. Some traders sell bronze tools that can be used to work iron, but players must still find enough ore to cast a bronze [[anvil]]. Although surface deposits of tin do exist, they are very rare with the default world generation settings.
=== Sylvite === <!--T:15-->


<!--T:16-->
<!--T:51-->
There is a 0.003% chance to come across a massive cassiterite deposit in a chunk. The smallest of these deposits are bigger than the largest of the normal sized deposits.
Sylvite is used to make {{ll|potash|potash}}, a {{ll|Farming#Fertilizer|fertilizer}} that not only restores K nutrients but can permanently increase a farm block's maximum K nutrients. Sylvite can only be found inside halite.

Called FollowSurface, the depth is in percent. Deposits will generate between the mantle and the height the surface. The surface is defined as the height of the highest block in a column, where rain will fall. This means a Y min of 0 will generate the ore above the mantle. A Y max of 1 will be below the highest block where rain falls.

Called FollowSurfaceBelow, the depth is in absolute blocks below the surface. This is specified by providing a generator of depth values. For example halite uses it to guarantee that salt bed deposit in deserts always spawn exactly 2 blocks below the surface.

Sea level in the world can be determined by the Y of the surface of a big lake. Or simply by multiplying the height of the world by 0.4313725490196078 and rounding down.

Called Anywhere, the depth is in percent. Deposits will generate between the mantle and the height of the world. This means a Y min of 0 will generate the ore above the mantle and a Y max of 1 will generate the ore below the height of the world. For example, it is used by quartz to make deposits generate anywhere in the world, but only within rock.
