About
Performing the Mine action with Any Axe or Any Pickaxe equipped on a cracked wall within a Mine Entrance will dig away that wall section and yield an Ore Boulder.
WARNING! Mining runs the risk of causing a collapse, always be prepared to build Mine Support.
With Any Axe or Any Pickaxe equipped right-click a Ore Boulder and select "Chip" to receive up the appropriate Ore or Rubble. Alternatively you may load any Boulder into a Stamp Mill, or blow it up with a Lit Boomstick. When Chipping any Boulder there is a chance to receive a Sterling Geode or Whetstone at the same Purity as the Boulder, or rarely an Arcane Amethyst during a Blood Moon.
Ore Chipped from an Ore Boulder can Smelted in a lit Ore Smelter to make Metal Bars. Iron Ore is used to make a Bar of Pig Iron, Copper Ore a Bar of Copper, and Silver Ore is used to make Silver Bars. Rubble Chipped from a Rubble Boulder can be Shifted with a Sifting Pan to potentially get either Black Sand, Dravite, Goldflakes, Phosphophyllite, Rubellite, or Uvarovite.
