Purx Posted April 26, 2024 Report Posted April 26, 2024 Where do rare ores like Phosporite spawn? Not sure if this has ever been addressed on the forums or not since I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on it. Any info would be appreciated
xXx_Ape_xXx Posted April 26, 2024 Report Posted April 26, 2024 If you check this page, you can look up every rocktype and what ores spawn where
Purx Posted May 4, 2024 Author Report Posted May 4, 2024 Sorry I thought I clicked send on my reply last week. I took an extensive look at that page before made this post and couldn't find any useful information on some of the ores marked in red. This is probably due to their lack of uses in the vanilla game, but in modded VS phosphorite is quite useful for soil fertilizer so I just had to trial and error search until I found a couple ore depots. I found that Phosphorite spawned in high abundance in the south, and noticed it only spawned below deep lakes or rivers (if using the river mod). hope this info proves useful for future players who try looking for this illusive mineral
Streetwind Posted May 4, 2024 Report Posted May 4, 2024 Unless a mod changes the way the ore generates, these pointers are unfotunately not useful - because Vintage Story doesn't pay attention to things like latitude or geographic features when placing ore deposits. The only thing that matters are the rock layers present in any given area. If the rock type can host the ore, it might spawn there; if the rock can't host the ore, it never will. 2
