PC Do caves exist in A17?

[Volpone]

Jumped back in since A16 and I can't find a solitary cave. Do they exist in A17? I need to find some lead.

No procedurally generated caves. There are some level designed POI caves. They might expose some ore but the days of ore generating around random caves is over.

Oof. I'll miss mining.

What's the best way to find lead? Just keep braking small boulders for the scraps?

If you shovel the gravel patches that are around, they will give you a sample of the ore you will find if you dig there.

So hit gravel patches till you find one that gives you lead, and then dig there.
