Hey, well that video is helpful. I have decided to try the strip mining at the sedimentary layer. I DID find some halite in a mountain, but in the end I gave up haha Hey on the plus side as im strip mining for halite I found yet more Tin. Lucky me! As an additional question, I know that the salt lake deposits will not show up as a node for the Prospector Pick, but will salt domes read?

Hello again it's me. Well after my success with Tin I set my eyes on Halite! Unfortunately I was unable to ever find better than Very Poor Halite readings at 16% to which I found nothing. My next idea though was the desert. The wiki specifies only a desert 13000 blocks south will suffice and foolishly I thought that might mean were I to brave such a journey I would be drowning in salt. Alas, after a harrowing and lengthy journey all the way to 15,000 blocks south I arrived to find multiple deserts devoid of any salt. The wiki suggests it would be directly under the sand and gravel on top of the rock, and well no matter where I searched I found nothing. So I wonder - what is the rarity of these lake beds in the specified desert? I'm starting to think I probably wasted my time making that crazy journey and it's only a matter of time before a rogue drifter or hyena sends me back

Aha! Looks like I am on the right track at last. This was after I hit some Peridotite

Thanks for your reply! I am currently digging a 4x4 staircase down in the high 0.1% Cass spot I located. Currently it seems that the top layer is claystone followed by conglomerate and slate. So this would imply then it may be a bust? Im only at 105 Y so I dont think im very deep

Howdy folks. I'm currently on the hunt for the elusive tin. I've been hot on it's trail a few times, but I am a bit confused as to how common it is or isn't When using the Prospector Pick the absolute highest concentration I have ever found is 0.1% - this means the hottest spot I can find is "High 0.1%" indicating the chance of it spawning is High and 0.1% of the blocks in the area are going to be Cassiterite Have you ever found higher numbers than that? Am I wasting my time looking for a 0.2% or higher? I am not above chewing through 1000 copper pickaxes to mow down a whole chunk if that's the spot, but it'd be embarrassing if there was such a thing as a 5% or whatever. Thanks in advance!
