In the real world gold and quartz are often correlated, I think...

Gold can be found in a wide variety of rocks in trace amounts to actual veins. Quartz is one of the most common crystals, and occurs in a majority of rock beds, so that is pretty vague. :ugeek:

Older gold mines were dug in granite and other igneous rocks. Modern gold is extracted out of copper and silver mines. (Along with a few other trace precious metals.)

You should make gold mining more like this. I don't like the fact that it's possible to mine out 40 gold bars from a single node.

Actually, there is a relationship between gold and quartz (and similar silica rocks)... It turns out that the quartz and gold tend to crystallize out of a water solution at roughly the same temperature, or something like that. Veins of goldbearing quartz often do occur in igneous rocks, and indeed quartz is a major component of granite... Most of the time the gold is concentrated around the veins of quartz within the other igneous rocks. I think they call it "quartz reef mining".

It's been a while. A buddy of mine was trying to get me to move out to Montana with him. Not a lot of gold out there, but enough to make it worth your while as "hobby" while you primarily were logging and/or running a hunting lodge. I ended up reading a lot about gold formations and such. You can actually find a good bit out of sandstone and such in the right areas, but not worth crushing the rock down. (No idea if he ever made it out there. I lost track of him years ago.)

Anyway, yeah, gold should definitely be more of a random occurrence in the "right" rocks and strata, but that might take more design in the world gen than loftar is willing to include.

Arguably, but I don't want it to just be random either. Will make the gold and silver veins smaller next world, probably.

Please.

I agree that it shouldn't be totally random, but I also like the random chances!

I think, making the nodes somewhat frequent, but make it so you get a few nugs or if you're very lucky, a couple of bars, maybe.
