PineReseen Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 That's both high Cassiterite (0.69‰) and decent Sphalerite (6.08‰)! Should I mine here?
MKMoose Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 (edited) Am I correct to say that the water is ~80 blocks deep at that reading? Mining underwater and at this kind of depth is certainly a choice, but if you need bronze then it may take a long time to find a better spot than this, because, for many ores, deposits are much more common underwater than on land. If you can dive there safely, then I say go for it. Edited April 4 by MKMoose 1

I think I'd be at around half health if I didn't use a bandage after I dived three times to get the samples.
Broccoli Clock Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 Finding yourself deep under the water can be common when using the translocators, although in that case at worst you just "break up" to the seafloor then float to the surface. Not sure I'd be keen to work the other way, unless that is literally the only deposit of tin/zinc you've found.
