Height ranges by zone

  • Copper
  • Iron
  • Thorium

Treasure rooms

Placed with the same column system as ore veins, but they put down treasure-room structures instead of ore.

  • Emerald Wilds Y 0–80 · Drifting Plains, Seedling Woods, The Fens
  • Howling Sands Y 0–80 · Golden Steppes, Badlands, Desolate Basin
  • Whisperfrost Frontiers Y 0–80 · Frostmarch Tundra, Boreal Reach, The Everfrost

Exact from the files: regions, heights, host rock, vein sizes and the odds of each vein size. Not simulated: how often a vein column actually finds rock to fill, which depends on the terrain the world generates around it.
