Veins and Clusters:

Non-layer stone occurs in these forms:

  • Large cluster - An oval that occupies nearly half of a 48x48 block, area-wise. Only one appears per block. These average 750 stones each.
  • Vein - A sinuous line of the material crosses the block. These average 100 stones each.
  • Small cluster - A sprinkle of 1 to 9 adjacent tiles. Multiple small clusters of different materials may be in the same block. These average 5 stones each and do not span more than three tiles in each direction.

Note that erosion may reduce exposed veins and clusters to a fraction of their original starting size, and/or cut through them, exposing two parts of a single vein in two nearby areas on the same z-level.
