Torondor the Builder Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 So as my world entered its second year since generation, I headed north through a gap between two mountains I had often traversed. I previously had not noted either the native copper bits on the ground near the mountain, nor had I noted the copper ore vein in the basalt blocks making up the mountainside above me (about 5 blocks were exposed to air). So did I truly just miss this vein the entire first year, or did something happen and this just appeared after winter? (Perhaps the rains or snows exposed it?) Thank you for the help.

Streetwind Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 No, as far as I am aware there is no mechanic that adds ores after a chunk is initially generated. You can force one or more chunks to regenerate, but it requires an admin command and does not happen naturally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redram Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 If you have dirt gravity turned on (which it is not by default), the exposed blocks may have been exposed in an avalanche at some point potentially. However there is no mechanic that would generate new surface nuggets, to best of my knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the mountain face was fairly sheer, so there was no avalanche that I did not create. I must have just been oblivious. Definitely need to be more observant. Thanks all!
