Sometimes grass, clay and sand can impede this process, so it is best to find large surfaces of rock to mine on. <br>

== Tdekker's guide ==
for those that have no idea what wolfdog is talking about ill try to tell it the easy way.
first of all you need to realise the world is 2d, all tiles are pilars and no cubes (also the veins are pilars)
when you prospect, you prospect an area of 7x7 around you, thats 3 tiles in all directions not counting the one your standing on. when you prospect eg. iron ore that means somewhere within a range of 3 tiles around you(notice this also means it can be behind you) the iron vein is located. than what you do is try to find the places where you no longer prospect that vein. you need to find a n/s edge and an e/w edge of where u can prospect it. <br>
than go stand on the most outer place where you prospected the vein and start counting 3 tiles to the center of the prospecting area. <br>
if you do this for the n/s side and the e/w side u will know where the vein is.
i dont know if u start to mine on the location of the vein if you will see it than so i advise u to start the mine 1 or 2 tiles in front of it and mine toward the tile that has the vein.
i hope me and wolfdog made it clear for you so that you will be able to find the vein without allot of problems
