Strata: Great Ore Deposits

Strata: Great Ore Deposits

This mod add new type of world generation call “Great Ore Deposits” The Super rare and Massive terrain fill with nearly endless supply of ore that you will never ever need to find more forever. So, prepare your journey because you are potentially need to walk for 10,000 block just to find one.

This mod create to be the alternative resource for many tech mod such as Create Mod, Immersive Engineering, Etc. Now you have a reason to create big as* excavator to destroy the mother nature as humanly possible and follow you Prospector’s Dream!

Currently, this mod add 3 type of deposits you can find.

1. High-Rise Plateau
   Uplifted tablelands that rise 30 to 120 blocks above the surrounding landscape.
   

2. Basin Craters
   Vast, open-pit craters that carve deep into the earth
   
   

3. Submerged Riverbed Basins
   Flooded mineral bays and river basins connected to waterways
   
   

But, How can we find it?

There is three ways:

1. Float Ores
   Float ores is scattered fragments normally broken from main deposits. You can find it within 2000 block aways from the deposits. If you find one, you are close to the mainland deposits.
   
2. Placer Ores
   Placer ores is pockets of ore break from water flow. You can find it at riverbed around 1500 block aways from the deposits. If you find one, you are close to the submerged deposits.
   
   
3. Prospector Ways
   

• Craft the “Soil Sample Collector” the collect the soil. done by right click on any soft soil (dirt, sand, gravel, clay, etc)
  .
• Put Soil Sample in “Mineral Tester” to analyze the soil.
  .
• Put “Mineral Spectrum Tubes” in Mineral Tester to project each ore concentrations in soil. Without Spectrum Tubes, the Mineral Tester can only analyze soil ratio.
  .
• After analyze the soil, you can print “Soil Analysis Report” which contain all soil infomation.
  .
• Soil Analysis Report can be use to ploting deposits position in “Drafting Table“
  .
• Drafting Table need at less 2 Soil Analysis Report to plot the deposit position.
  
• The accuracy of ploting location is base on quality of each Soil Analysis Report.
  • If Soil Analysis Report take too close together. the ploting will overlap and inaccurate.
  • If Soil Analysis Report take in low ore concentrations presented. the ploting will imprecise.
• After ploting from Soil Analysis Report, you can print “Plotting Survey” which contain estimate location of deposit.
  .
• Plotting Survey can be combine with Compass in anvil with 10 levels to make “Prospector’s Compass” which contain location and pointing to deposit location.
