About this converter
Ore max depth means the upper bound of the deepest biome listing that resource. Salt bottoms at 675 in Blood Kelp Trench. Ruby bottoms at 1065 across Grand Reef, Lost River and Deep Sparse Reef with no Inactive Lava Zone listing. Copper, Titanium, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Lithium, Magnetite, Nickel, Uraninite and Quartz all bottom at 1390 through the Inactive Lava Zone at 960 to 1390 with large deposits, even where shallow nodes like Limestone or Sandstone stop at 1065. Crystalline Sulfur and Kyanite bottom at 1470 in Lava Lakes at 1280 to 1470. Placeholder ranges like Limestone 0 to 300 or Shale 200 to 600 undercount deep nodes and are left out.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Kyanite against Salt to see the 1470 to 675 deep gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1. Meters and feet interconvert.
Vehicle crush depths live on a separate vehicles page and are not mixed with ore spawn rows. Node types like Limestone versus large deposits ride in context per row. Kyanite needs Prawn MK2 or Cyclops MK3 to reach max, noted where relevant. Omitted: Below Zero resources, which use a separate arctic table.
FAQ
What is deepest ore?
Kyanite and Crystalline Sulfur at 1470 in Lava Lakes. Needs Prawn MK2 or Cyclops MK3.
What is Ruby max?
1065 via Lost River. No Inactive Lava Zone listing, so below the 1390 tier.
Why do commons reach 1390?
Large deposits in the Inactive Lava Zone at 960 to 1390. Shallow nodes stop earlier.
Are placeholders included?
No. Limestone 0-300 style ranges undercount deep nodes and stay out.
