Other important resources to make it into the steam age include Redstone, Calcite, Gold & Gypsum, so keep track of these if found. Redstone is a primary, while Calcite spawns rarely in Lapis veins, Gold spawns rarely with Magnetite, and Gypsum is found with both Basaltic and Granitic Mineral Sands.
GT [[Ore Generation|ore veins generate]] evenly spaced on a grid, with two chunks in all directions between ore chunks. JourneyMap comes equipped with a
When you get an Ore Finder, walking close enough to the vein with the corresponding ore in the finder will add it to your map. Bring a backpack with one of every discovered ore when out prospecting. It can be used to quickly test new ore chunks without digging by putting them one at a time into the Ore Finder while near sea level or slightly below. Small ores other than iron/coal will generally correspond to a nearby ore vein, so those should be tested first if spotted. NEI has an excellent module for GT ore veins, showing composition, world type, scarcity and depth.
