Tumble Trash Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 I finally can start mining, but I am wondering, how large are veins (on the surface)? Should I mine the surrounding stone for more or is it all just in one area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution LadyWYT Posted September 6 Solution Report Share Posted September 6 It varies. The typical surface copper deposit will probably be about 10-15 blocks diameter. Other surface metals will be similar; it's quartz and coal veins that get huge. If you want to mine out the entire vein though, the node search function of the prospecting pick will be your best friend. It won't tell you where, exactly, the last bits of ore are, but it will certainly help you determine when you've found all there is to find in that area. It's also important to keep in mind that ores in Vintage Story spawn in large flat disks(for the most part) that follow the terrain pattern of the area. So you'll need to take changes in elevation into account and possibly dig a block or two higher/lower in order to mine the entire vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
