Ore Quality[]
There are four quality types for ore items. Ores found on the surface contain the smallest amount of metal, only 10 units. Regular ore found in veins underground contain 25 units of metal. These veins have a certain percentage to spawn as either poor or rich veins, which when mined will produce poor or rich ores. Poor ores contain 15 units of metal, and rich ores contain 35 units of metal. One ingot requires 100 units of metal.
