Try spending more time underground. They do spawn down there too, but not regularly. Plus underground mineral finds are always richer than what you get on the surface. I have a secure tree enclosure for wood, instant access to water, and no need to ever leave my base expect for exploration/work on more fortifications. |

i almost got killed by another creeper, but his explosion uncovered a shit ton of coal XD. i made a billion torches to light my cavern. cuz it was so dark in some places, a creeper even spawned inside and killed me. but the base is about 50 feet from the spawn, so each death is merely an inconvenience. the deeper i go, the more iron i find

The deeper I go, the more cave I find. I've given up trying to each it's end. I'm just going to mine it out slowly and methodically, closing of sections as I empty them of goodies. It'll be a while till I'm at the diamonds, but tis the only way to do it and stay sane. |

Well, progress has been made. I've mined out and sealed what I was considering the first section. However, while working on what I consider the second section I found a new area. The cave really is endless. Except that I've found a end. Remember that I simply smashed through a cave wall and worked from there? Well while doing a bit more mining I found a new series of chambers and started exploring them. And while doing so I found..... the surface. Hears the thing - the cave entrance/s (there's two right next to each other, and they link up pretty quickly) are actually nearer to my spawn point than my base. I could have theoretically been working in this from day 1, had I decided to cross the lake in a different direction. Below is a very rough diagram of my area. ![]() The purple is my spawn point. The blue is obviously water. The grey box is my base (I into a cliff side), and the red line coming of is my main mineshaft. The box at the end of the line is the excavation/chambers I was working on when I stumbled onto the labyrinth. The grey lines on the other side of the map are the walls I put up to block entrance to the labyrinth. I've tunnelled under the lake, and while I was planning to do so, I wasn't planning on doing so yet. I love this game

There's two types. You can dig straight down and use ladders, like I did on my first go, or diagonally. Personally I think diagonal is the better option. If you go for it the big question is if you decide to jump or build stairs.![]() With 1 you have to jump to ascend the stairs, but you take up half as much space length wise. 2 you can walk up. Bellow the two images is my current shaft design. I mine out 4x2 areas. You can do it with 3x2, but you have more space to move this way. Every 5 tiles I put a torch 3 tiles up. If I want to dig an exploratory tunnel I always dig under the torch, so I can meet them up as required. |

Due to my new discovery I'm now moving ahead with my under-lake tunnel project, which I plan to connect to the labyrinth.

i was building a series of rooms in a general downward motion with a few jump-steps in between, but now that i have 50 torches, i might start to dig a huge mine shaft like i did in the fortress in the other game that i can't find in another game: a big 7 by 7 hole with ladders every other square as a way to get back up. i need more damn coal XD |

A bucket costs as much as a pick in steel, but is far more valuable. It'll never wear out and when you fund lava having water is useful as hell. |
