The issue is that the mithril ore spawns in igneous extrusive layers according to the mod data. It's fairly inconsistent to find in my experience.

So for those that are wondering, I havent found any in caverns, but the mod does work. I usually get it from killing invaders or trading. It shows up on characters and usually works best assigning the items manually.

I have the distinct feeling this mod is abandoned? I'm not seeing the ore generate at all in my worlds.

Hello, i like this mod but the dwellers are often equiped with mithril spears and shields.
So now i've tons of those and weirdly, no one of my soldiers want to equip then

I was wondering, is it possible to get the mithril items to show up on dwarves at all, even just as some other metal? I'd be fine with it looking like silver or something...

Not sure if it's generating at all or just a bug on the embark screen, but none of the several worlds I've generated with this mod active have created any Mithril that's detected by the find embark tool

This mod will be of interest to those who like Tolkien. All in all, I am intrigued by this mod. Unfortunately, there are no graphical changes in the game. I know this is a hard problem to solve, so I'm sad :pecho_tired:

Eh, I have to say, its a bit too common. All the undead sieges I've had recently had tons of mithril gear on basic zombies.

One step closer to Tolkien's Fortress :heartris:

@Fohcs:
Mithril is:
4x as valuable as steel
Roughly half as light and sharp as Adamant
i'm only about half-literate with the stats, but this is really, really good. mithril battleaxes are probably fantastic.
Fohcs 27 Dec, 2022 @ 9:59pm 
As someone who doesn't really know how to read the stat chart, is Mithril Armor going to be better, in general, than steel?

Also, I noticed the weapons don't have an equiped graphic. Would it be possible have it just borrow the steel weapon ones?

Ok thanks. Just wanted to make sure it was all good since mithril was the only thing I had the finder searching for. I knew aluminum was rare but I'd never really cared or did anything with it when I used to play classic. So by extension I guess I underestimated how rare mithril would be. Guess I'll just keep trying to gen worlds until mithril pops up in the site search.
Haethei 18 Dec, 2022 @ 4:11pm 
The mod description states "about twice as rare as aluminum", and aluminum is by far one of the rarest ores in the game already. There is definitely more adamantine in your world than aluminum.

Also, since it only shows up in one type of layer, and that layer isn't one of the more popular ones like sedimentary, it'll probably take multiple games until you happen to embark on a place that has this ore at all
Sindiran 18 Dec, 2022 @ 3:05pm 
So mithril is searchable through find embark but it hasn't found any sites in several world gens. Does it just not actually show up in the search or am I really unlucky? I didn't lower metal spawns. Or maybe a mod load order thing? I do have some other mods but nothing that should effect this mod or ore gen in general. Mostly QOL with a few color edits and creature tweaks.

@haethei, yea sorry didten see that, just wanted to drop it in here as soon as i noticed.
Atleast its a problem for more people. so hopefully worth Author to look into.
Haethei 18 Dec, 2022 @ 6:03am 
Yeah Arkor I just mentioned that in my comment, it's an issue that is difficult to solve because the graphic system is complicated and people haven't wrote guides about it yet
Arkor 18 Dec, 2022 @ 6:00am 
Seems like Weapons don't show up on Dwarfs when equipped.... as in the sprite/graphic.

Ill see how to fix this in the evening. Wanted to tweak some values anyways :steamfacepalm:
Haethei 17 Dec, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
Dwarves are missing graphics for equipped mithril items (you won't see them holding a spear made of mithril etc). They aren't automatically generated like the item icon you see in the interface. I've been struggling to figure out how to set up the graphics for equipped items, but the system is complicated. I wanted to make a very similar mod and hoped you had figured it out, but it seems the issue will elude us for the time being.

Added comparison to steel and adamantine
Thrice 16 Dec, 2022 @ 6:17pm 
Can you post a comparison to steel and adamantite?
perl 16 Dec, 2022 @ 4:10pm 
Nice
Levvy 16 Dec, 2022 @ 2:58pm 
how does it compare to steel?
