Pamela Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does anyone know of a good seed with lots of Slate??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Technically EVERY seed will have lots of slate. The problem is locating it. I assume you want a seed with slate that is close to spawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Not necessarily. I would like some close to spawn, but then some farther south, but not too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Not too far is a pretty relative term. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Posted February 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 I like to have a house near spawn and one far enough south not to have snow....maybe 5000 blocks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLi Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 You have opened a Pandora box here. Not getting any snow - it is about to get to latitudes below 30 ("/wgen pos latitude" command). Usually 1 degree is ~1k blocks for default worlds. As in real Earth one degree is ~110km. So if your spawn is at 45deg(temperate), and the world size/distances have default values - it takes ~15k blocks to pass 15 degrees from altitude 45deg to latitude 30deg not to have snow. 15k blocks trip is long enough to encounter slate on the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just got around to starting this seed last night. Lots of rough terrain to the south, so end of first day I ended up probably 5000 tiles SE of spawn (not sure -- dead reckoning), but managed 3 (!) linen sacks, 62 copper nuggets, 2 deposits of terra preta, 5-6 resin, 3 marked as they are close enough to bother with if I set up here, which I might because shortly before nightfall, encountered a large wild hive. Nice open medium fertility scrubs (so probably more TP), lots of ponds with reeds, at least 2 clay, one peat, forests visible on most horizons, to the SE might be chalk or limestone mountains, hard to tell, but I can hope. Only thing not to your liking is this particular spot is shale, but, again, a known slate area is less than a day's run to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 And... got one shotted by a bear. Should have realized all the water, berry bushes and even a nearby hive that it was prime bear territory. Nighttime sticking isn't a great idea with bears around, it turns out. Oh, well, on to the next world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
