Tips on finding ore

[Ailaa]

For those intrested, burned 25 heavy earth, got exactly 0 metal. Instead 25 gneiss. Going to try another batch, might have been bad luck.

I had similar luck with Iron Ochre.

After amount 6 full furnaces of Iron Ochre, I got maybe 10 iron bars.

Any cave in mechanics In the caves? Or are there posts we can build like old hnh?

Cave ins happen. They can happen even on surface walls on your first attempt at mining.
There are supports to stop them but there is no indicator of the supports range.

Although at the moment cave ins aren't fatal, just common as hell. I must have survives 10+ of them by now.

I'm not surprised that there's bog iron in this game, seeing as they probably wanted at least a low-quality metal to be available to newbies and there not to be such a divide between metal players and non-metal players.

And yes, bog iron is a thing. I have tons of it at my real life place and it's everywhere.

I found some cassiterite, so I've got some tin (if I succesfully melt it) but a cave in happened. I think they are indeed, common as hell.
