Ruins become easier to encounter during exploration, and the likelihood of finding translocators is increased, as they often generate along these newly formed tunnel pathways.</p> <p style="margin-top: 14px;"><strong>If you hit a dead end while moving through a narrow tunnel, there is a 99% chance that breaking 1–2 blocks forward will reveal ruins with loot, allowing you to continue deeper through the tunnel system.</strong></p> </div> <h2 style="color: #e6e6e6; text-align: center;">Also check out my other mods</h2> <div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 14px; margin-top: 20px;"> <div style="background: #141414; border: 1px solid #2d2d2d; padding: 16px; text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/46603"> <strong style="color: #f0f0f0; display: block;">Cave-Only Ore Spawns ↗</strong> </a> <p style="color: #c9c9c9;">No more ore veins appearing in the middle of nowhere.
