is there a fix for this mod anywhere? on the server im in ive spent 2 hours looking in a deep forest for it, im getting the forage this showing up for a moment then it disappears and nothings there at all, am i missing some essential mod that aint listed?

For all the people asking for more mine spawns: I've published a supplementary mod to this one that increases their spawn rates. You can check it out through my profile.

Any chance to add a version where Sulfur could be mined?

Figured i would ask even if no one answers any time soon. I'm on a multiplayer dedicated server i am hosting and I can find prospected ore, but that's all it is. When i find it, it is called "You have prospected an ore" then when I pick it up and hold it, it remains the same. I have a pickaxe, I have one ore at my feet and the other in my inventory but it doesn't change to anything else, just stays as a prospected ore, anyone know anything?

Bring this back but then with the new update

is there a way to influence the spawn rate of the ores, i've walked for 5 hours and only found one which was silver. I'm level 10 foraging and have had the focus on stones. I feel like there is something missing here. how do i change the spawn rate of the unknown rocks to appear.

So an Update to my former comment: I have found ore, iron specifically (it just gave me rocks but that is besides the point) but to help those still looking, i gochu. The rocks are very distinguishable and do not look like vanilla, focus stone when foraging to help find it, and I have a hunch that rocks spawn more commonly on the edge of deep forests but im not 100% on that. Also, if you are tired of the search theres a patch mod that makes the ore spawn rate higher called "Dynamic mining Patch"

You think maybe it has something to do with the fact that Renewable Food hasn't been updated in over 2 years and is unsupported?
Hans Hodenreiter 12 Nov, 2024 @ 9:51am 
It seems this mod doesn't work with "[41] [Unsupported] AnaLGiN's Renewable Food Resources" because no ores/stones have spawned when it was active.....
Albert 1 Nov, 2024 @ 5:46am 
i wish there's is an sandbox setting to increase/decrease chances of spawning ores.
e g g 16 Oct, 2024 @ 11:46am 
wish there was a way to set ores as a focus, they really are rare as hell
Drryst 4 Oct, 2024 @ 7:39am 
I have walked for half an hour in a deep forest area and havent seen any ores, i have a pickaxe in hand. Am i missing something? mod is active in a server
pgames-food 30 Sep, 2024 @ 5:30pm 
hi im not sure of the chances but i think editing this one (SDMForageStuff.lua) can set the amount you find, if you actually find one in a deep forest
کhurikeŋ 30 Sep, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
In which file i can edit the chances of ores appearing while foraging ?
Papito jugo al dum 8 Aug, 2024 @ 2:03pm 
Its working? cant find anything, just rocks and sulfur
Armorguy1 22 Jun, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
Does this also allow us to get saltpeter to make gunpowder?
LambVORTEX 3 May, 2024 @ 1:34am 
Soulfilcher's Blacksmith mod and this (for iron and coal)
Is it compatible? Or strictly with Real Metalworking?
Fatecheater 22 Apr, 2024 @ 10:49pm 
Will this work with Inventory Tetris mod? I saw in the video that you had to put the ore deposit into your inventory to investigate it first, which cannot be done with limited grid size of pocket inventory.
göksu 2 Apr, 2024 @ 5:30pm 
The spawn rate of rocks should be configurable.
FireRabbit70w0 30 Mar, 2024 @ 5:46am 
true, we need a primitive pick please
VinLoke 27 Mar, 2024 @ 12:27am 
Would be really cool for there to be a primitive pick as part of this. Perhaps something that breaks after one node. Just for those who like to do the wilderness life
Peni4 26 Jan, 2024 @ 7:19am 
Eh, do I understand correctly that this mod does nothing other than add the very possibility of finding some ore? And I need your other mods to make this useful?
Riuru 14 Dec, 2023 @ 9:41am 
i think in existing mp game doest work, i spend 2 days with lvl 8 skills and i cant find one deposit
ekanSdiloS 2 Dec, 2023 @ 8:59am 
Is it compatible with snake?
Capitano Sprinkler 15 Oct, 2023 @ 9:35am 
Can i put this mod in a existing mp game?
Crimson 27 Jul, 2023 @ 8:00am 
This should be in the base game, I don't understand why we don't have BASIC ELEMENTS in the game
[MOSSAD] Ananas 12 Jul, 2023 @ 9:51am 
Does this interact well with hydrocraft?
Clam Chowderメ 8 Jul, 2023 @ 1:29pm 
For some reason when I found a pile of rocks, started mining it and it kept saying something along the lines of "hmm, little mysterious rocks" and it would just keep spawning more and more nonstop rocks on top of it. I now have infinite amount of rocks to mine in a single spot. Is this normal? I'm also lv 10 in foraging.
Ricksdetrix 7 Jul, 2023 @ 5:38pm 
is it possible to increase the spawn rate of ore?
Jasdan 21 Jun, 2023 @ 8:09am 
Could you please make this compatible with Snake's Modpack?
It throws errors when both are installed.
Akies 13 May, 2023 @ 10:21am 
Is it compatible with snake?
RandomDude 13 May, 2023 @ 8:18am 
Dude, yes! Perfect. Going to load this bad boy up once I get home today. Thanks for all your work man, we actually just completed a Camden server last month, rocking map man! Probably one of the best we've seen. Take care.
spoon  [author] 13 May, 2023 @ 8:08am 
@RandomDude Correct you are! Works in every map -- both past and future, above and below, east and west -- only need a deep forage zone and you are good to go my G.
RandomDude 13 May, 2023 @ 7:48am 
Judging by the video and description, this is map agnostic correct? It would function on say, The Forest stand alone map? We're trying to find a solution for getting salt in a harsh, survival focused server I've spun up based on that map. Thanks in advance!
spoon  [author] 12 May, 2023 @ 5:10am 
@Cenbes Yes.
Cenbes 12 May, 2023 @ 4:54am 
Is this mod compatible with Hydrocraft?
spoon  [author] 12 May, 2023 @ 1:48am 
@DrArtur Stones.
Jinx Addicted 11 May, 2023 @ 2:58pm 
What is the category of the deposits? What do i switch for if i want to focus on finding them in the search mode?
spoon  [author] 9 May, 2023 @ 8:13am 
@KinJin0m You may confuse Rock Salt(Mining product from this mod) AND Salt Rock(From Food Preservation mod that can be just found while foraging). First one needs a big log. The second one uses mortar.
킨제유만 9 May, 2023 @ 7:57am 
Ask a question using Google Translate.

I don't know how to deal with it after gathering ore in your mod.
Apparently the crafting recipe uses mortar to grind rock salt, but it doesn't work

I would like to know if there are some crash bugs with the snake modpack.
HighAdmiral 7 May, 2023 @ 12:00am 
Hey Spoon, quick question. Can you clarify what kind of foraging specialization the traces fall under? Should I be looking for stones? Trying to get more salt :)
spoon  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 11:04pm 
@Trithian Xiaxis Been further testing it myself now and yes I will change the pickaxe from not breaking so easily... I think. You can use my Essential Crafting mod to repair tools with leather strips and wire and such.

I also made a new hunting mod just recently, check out my workshop. The old hunting mod was just too outdated. I think we used the same one.

And I don't think there is a bug with ForagingZ, these ores are meant to be rare and sometimes you find them quick, sometimes it takes days.
Trithian Xiaxis 4 May, 2023 @ 10:09pm 
wanted to share that this is working with the Hunting Mod. I did not get any to show up in 30 minutes of looking with ForagingZ. Not sure if I just had horrible luck or if it is preventing them from spawning. I removed ForagingZ and found one in 10 minutes. Also, is it supposed to break a pickaxe after 6 uses? seems rough when the large deposits have 20 hits
spoon  [author] 30 Apr, 2023 @ 1:51am 
@Return of the racist If Hydrocraft aint removing unusable metal, salt, aluminum or stones from the game then they should work fine together.
Totally not Skynet 30 Apr, 2023 @ 1:47am 
How does this work with Hydrocraft?
spoon  [author] 24 Apr, 2023 @ 9:36pm 
@Trithian Xiaxis They are meant to be pretty rare.
Trithian Xiaxis 24 Apr, 2023 @ 5:19pm 
I am also using ForagingZ. Not sure which might be making it so the SDMOreOne and SDMOreTwo not spawn. I can spawn them in debug mode.
Trithian Xiaxis 24 Apr, 2023 @ 5:04pm 
Is this not compatible with the Hunting Mod which functions similarly to find trace animal tracks? I have been all over a deep forest and find everything else on the loot table but no ore/rock? Thanks
danny_dustin 22 Apr, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
Is this split screen compatible? I tried but got a slew of errors for it.
JimsBomb 21 Apr, 2023 @ 11:00pm 
@spoon My false, just a misreport. I used Cheat Menu to freeze the in-game time, resulting in no triggering the EveryOneMinute event.:steamfacepalm:

BTW a suggestion: I hope we can change the probability and qty of ore production in the future if possible, it should be more flexible and easier to adjust diffculty.

Thanks for your great work.
