How To Spot Nickel Ore
Nickel Ore appears in 2 forms: Large Nickel Ore Deposits and loosely as individual chunks.For the highest yields of this resource, players should understandably seek out the big rocks instead of the little pieces. The Deposits of Nickel Ore can be found more easily due to their size, but their dull coloration will make them tough to pick out among the murky and dark waters of the biomes it’s found within.They’re scattered about, on the seafloor, so stay toward the bottom of the biome to find them, though, they can also spawn on some more vertical surfaces.
Similarly,bits of Nickel Ore can be found strewn about the seabed, so be sure to scan the underwater sand and rocks for quick and easy picks of this resource.
