Telem Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Well I was wondering "how do people mine in VS?" I must admit I´m kind off stuck with the habitual thinking of strip mining which kind of turns into a waste of time and ressources ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heptagonrus Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Using prospecting pick find an area with a decent reading of the desired ore. Find it's center with the highest reading. Quarter-chunk accuracy is enough. Even chunk. Start making shafts to the mantle. I use one block wide shafts filled with water. To hover in water - hug a wall. Hovering saves you if suddenly your shaft hits a cave, because you fall faster than water column spreads down. Careful - some ores like zink are nearly invisible is some rocks, so pay attention to block info window and e.g. dig down watching north-east waslls but float up watching south-west. Space shafts approx 6-8 blocks from each other, e.g. in spiral pattern from the central one. Good luck. Read Wiki' article about ores and propicking, very helpful.
