Where to Find Tin Ore
In order to find the tin ore, you need to escape the starting biome in Core Keeper for a new area called The Clay Caves. Since the game features procedurally generated maps, trying to be exact here would indeed become worthless, but you're generally going to want to dig in any one direction away from the Dirt Biome, just in case you face a wall that can't be broken using your copper pickaxe, you then retreat back to the Core and try another direction.Preparation for Your Search:
- Pickaxes: Bring at least two copper pickaxes.
- Bridges: Carry 30-40 bridge pieces for crossing chasms.
- Inventory: Ensure you have 8-10 empty slots for new materials.
On reaching The Clay Caves, you'll receive a message announcing your entrance, and on your minimap, this biome will appear peach-colored. Tin ore will have shiny silver and grey nuggets in the clay. Watch for the metallic glint in the darkness to guide your digging.
