Small ores can be found scattered around on the surface of the ground. These are samples of what ore veins are located within 35 blocks underneath the soil, so they're somewhat important. In the majority of cases, it is a sample of a vein in the top layer of stone. However, in areas where the top layer is thin enough, the vein may be located in the upper section of the middle stone layer. This means that it is possible to find small ore pieces in areas where the top layer of stone is not able to spawn the ore. ''Note: The maximum distance from the surface to a vein required for a small ore piece to generate is larger than the scanning range of the [[Prospector's Pick]]. If using the prospector's pick on the surface in an area where small ore pieces are found, and only negative readings are given, it means that the vein is deeper underground.'' | Small ores can be found scattered around on the surface of the ground.

Depending on the type of ore, it's smaller counterpart is either called a nugget for native metals, or a small ore for the rest. One small ore/nugget produces 10 metal units. | Depending on the type of ore, it's smaller counterpart is either called a nugget for native metals, or a small ore for the rest.

Ore veins are completely made up of a single type of ore: poor, normal or rich. When the world generates an ore vein, it has a 20% chance to be rich, a 30% chance to be poor, and a 50% chance to be normal. One poor ore produces 15 metal units, one normal ore produces 25 metal units, and one rich ore produces 35 metal units. | Ore veins are completely made up of a single type of ore: poor, normal or rich.
