PC Do mineable resources propagate on the bottom level anymore?

[JCrook1028]

if im reading the biomes.xml right, iron will not spawn at bedrock but in the layers between 7 blocks below the surface to 11 blocks above bedrock
anything below 11 blocks above bedrock will be the biome specific ore.

also tunneling can still yield ore if you aim your tunnels toward the surface rock/ gravel areas. you might need to clear out a space to find it because your tunnel might miss the vein

also if you hit gravle try to carefully mine to the top of it and then dig it out from the top down. you will need frames for support but dont dig too high if you are close to the surface unless you want it to turn into an open pit mine

I do this all the time and I have never died while mining

That's what I'm seeing both in the xml's and in the world also. No iron veins deep. Now if only Gazz would actually answer the question himself instead of snarking that we don't reading the in game mining journal. (which btw does NOT answer the question of deep level iron ore veins) I don't mind some snark for some stupid questions but really? Is asking about ore distibution so bad?

Gazz not snark?

That's like... his thing. It's what he does.

We wouldn't love him the same if he wasn't snarky.

[Though maybe we'd make more progress..... but you know... six and one half-dozen.]

At least the pictures LOOK cool.
