:::Me again. I believe the Wiki, but... I've found 3 patches of magnetite, 6 patches of bauxite, 11 veins of malachite, even goddamn calcite, and NO bit.coal/lignite. Please just cheer me up and say I have bad luck :P --[[User:Haspen|Haspen]] 21:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

::::From observation, it seems like mineral deposits aren't placed completely at random.  The process probably works something like this: Out of all the deposits that could possibly appear in a type of layer, some are chosen to appear (perhaps with different frequencies) in a particular layer of a particular biome, then that layer is randomly filled with deposits from that subset.  This explains why the same layer often has several clusters of the same type of gem, or why microcline (which is very common and is defined to appear in all layers) doesn't appear in every layer.  So you do have bad luck, but not the truly atrocious luck that it would take to have no coal if it was placed randomly.  --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 08:52, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
