Finding ore in Vintage Story can be challenging, so to help you out here is how the game spawns ore. | Finding ore in Vintage Story can be challenging, so to help you out here is how the game spawns ore. | ||
To the right, there is a picture of a typical ore distribution in Vintage Story. The main thing to notice is the ores are distributed at random heights in disks at various angles. Some ores have wider disks than others. Quartz by far as the widest disks but most disks are around an average of 5.5 blocks wide. These disks typically are shaped similarly to the surface above but always cover the same horizontal area. Meaning in regions where the ground is flat the disks will be flat and where the surface is jagged the disks will be tilted and distorted. That means in flat areas horizontal mining has less of a chance to hit the disk then vert mine shafts. This continues to be true until the surface is jagged enough that its slope is greater than the disk is wide. For vertical shafts, the chance of hitting an ore disk is always the same and horizontal shafts the chance depends on the shape of the surface generally. | To the right, there is a picture of a typical ore distribution in Vintage Story.
