Gathering Basic Resources Across Tuff and Granite Layers

Gathering Basic Resources Across Tuff and Granite Layers

Early-game progression relies heavily on basic resources like coal, copper, and iron. With Mar Mar’s Enhanced Ore Variety Mod, these common materials are no longer confined to standard stone and instead populate the various rock layers found throughout the underground.

Locating Coal and Copper in Tuff and Granite

As you explore shallow and mid-level cave systems, keep an eye out for tuff and granite layers. You will often find coal and copper ores scattered across tuff and granite layers, visually blending into the surrounding rock rather than standing out in plain gray stone. Similarly, raw iron deposits are blended cleanly into andesite and diorite patches.

Mining and Collecting Raw Items

When you spot these common resources embedded in the colored stone variants, use your pickaxe to mine them. The blocks will drop the normal vanilla minerals and raw items when mined with a pickaxe. Because the mod places ores inside Granite, Diorite, Andesite, and Tuff blocks during normal cave generation without altering overall spawn rates, you can easily gather all your early-game essentials while exploring natural underground cave formations.
