Rock layers in TFC 1.7.10 are fairly boring. They contribute a lot to gameplay in the form of restricting access to resources, which forces the player to explore in search of various different rock types or categories. However, due to the random nature of rock layer distribution, there is no strategic element to finding specific rocks. Additionally, while there are three layers, the top is by far the most utilized due to the difficulty mining and/or searching for ores in the second / third layers.
- Add interesting gameplay elements to searching for specific rocks.
- Add more reasons for players to explore and utilize lower layers.
