Typical example of ore distribution in Vintage Story

Finding ore in Vintage Story can be challenging, so to help you out here is how the game spawns ore. Throughout this page, the numbers shown will all be in absolute terms. In the world when you press "V" it shows you the relative coordinates. To find the absolute dig down to the mantle and take that number, subtract 3, and add it to 256. That number will be the absolute value for y=0 in your world.

Ore depth

All ores are uniformly distributed through the ground.

Shallow ores

Shallow ores stop at a certain depth.

ore Y min Y max
Lignite 123 236
Surface Copper 236 251


Deep ores

Deep ores go from the mantle up to a Y max.

ore Y max
Bituminous Coal 179
Saltpeter 205
Gold 256
Silver 256
Deep Copper 154
Sphalerite 256
Cassiterite 154
Bismuthinite 218
Limonite 243
Lapis 205
Diamond 51
Emerald 59
Galena 256
Sulfer 256

Ore Specifics

Gold and Silver

Gold and silver only spawn in layers of quartz. Following a quartz layer is a good way to find them.

Cassiterite

There's a rare chance to come across a massive cassiterite deposit. If you do consider yourself extremely lucky, since the smallest of these deposits are larger than the largest of the normal sized deposits.
