Tin ore
Heavy black grains you'll find in the top of the granite.
Where to find it#
Tin never turns up in an ordinary boulder. On the surface the only tin is in rich seams up on the high ground, about one seam in 10, and round some of the abandoned mines. Underground it's in the top few metres of the granite, in a ring roughly 15 to 45 m out from the middle of a granite dome.
The thing is, the granite sits high in the middle of the dome and drops off the farther out you go. So on the top levels you'll only reach it close to the middle, and on the deeper levels you'll reach it farther out. A good rule is that when your tunnel breaks out of the other rock into pink granite, that's the spot to prospect.
How much you get#
You get 1 to 3 tin ore per cell. Granite is hard, so it's slow digging.
Which level#
You can find it on levels 1 to 10, and level 3 has the most.
| Level 1 | |
| Level 2 | |
| Level 3 | |
| Level 4 | |
| Level 5 | |
| Level 6 | |
| Level 7 | |
| Level 8 | |
| Level 9 | |
| Level 10 |
This is how much each level has across the whole map, compared to the best one.
What it's for#
- Nothing uses tin yet, but it's worth hanging on to.
