=== Shallow ores ===
=== Shallow ores ===
Some ores are found in shallow deposits and deep deposits. Shallow deposits are often indicated by the presence of loose stones containing ore on the surface of the world, and are a good source of metals in early game stages.

=== Deep ores ===
=== Deep ores ===
Deep ores exist from the mantle to a Y max.
Deep ores do not have surface hints and most can only be found using the prospecting pick. Some ores, saltpeter for example, can't be found with a propick at all and must be found caving.

== Ore Specifics ==

=== Gold ===
[[Gold]] only spawns in layers of quartz. Following a quartz layer is a good way to find them. [[Ore blasting bomb]]s can be utilized to great effect to clear out quartz.


=== Gold and Silver ===
=== Silver ===
Gold and silver only spawn in layers of quartz. Following a quartz layer is a good way to find them. [[Ore blasting bomb]]s can be utilized to great effect to clear out quartz.
[[Silver]] can be found alongside gold in quartz deposits, but it can also be found in deposits of lead.


=== Cassiterite ===
=== Cassiterite ===
There's a 0.003% chance to come across a massive cassiterite deposit in a chunk. Players who find locate these are extremely lucky, since the smallest of these deposits are larger than the largest of the normal sized deposits.

=== Lapis ===
Generally Cassiterite is very rare yet it is needed to make tin bronze and to progress to iron tools. Some players may find this frustrating. Some traders sell tools that can be used to work iron, so only a tin bronze anvil is needed.
Lapis only spawns in claystone.
