Ores?

[CapnCliff]

so I prospected and found porphyry. has anybody mined this? is it an ore or just another rock.

[MagicManICT]

No. I thought there as a list of ores around, but I'm not finding it with a quick search.

You can check by trying to make a stockpile with it. Ores have a pile different from just plain stone.

It's a red coloured rock.

[CapnCliff]

that's a problem. its on lv 2. and I am not a strong miner. just wondering if its worth my towns resources to try and make a hole by it

[MagicManICT]

its on lv 2.

What is on the current level is no indicator of what will be on the level below it. Get some rustroot extract and prospect there. However, if you're not a strong miner yet, you're probably not going to have much success on the next level down, if any at all.

He did that magic.

But yeah screw Lvl 2 unless you're sporting 100+str and a pick that's at least Q15 avg.

New Ore found in a boulder


Ender cant mark that ore on minimap yet

Are there any copper and tin ores besides malachite and cassiterite?

Chalcopyrite is copper and iron ore. Outside of that I've not found any other copper or tin ores. Also copper ore seems rare as hell, never found a vein of it anywhere.

Anyway, been mining some more. Got these figures to add.

With all skills, Bloodstone Ore is around a 25% to 30% chance of turning into iron.
Galena is about a 5-10% chance of turning into a silver nugget.
And Silvershine is around a 20% chance of turning into a silver nugget.

I haven't found a copper vein either. I'm wondering if you can even find them on lvl1? I've used probably 200 rustroots all around my place. Lots of iron 2 tin and no copper so far.
