Where does one find ore?
So with the introduction of this bronze age - I am at a loss where to look for said ore. I've tried digging in caves but only end up with tool heads so far. Am I meant to run around the terrain looking for it? Or am I meant to find a larger cave system?

I saw somewhere a script to check if an item exists on your map - now I can't find it. Is there a way I can check that there is ore on my map?
Edit: Also is there some kind of bug with the sound underground? I keep hearing sabre cats and kinkojin(?) as if they are right on top of me but there is nothing around.
When I've dug a hole directly down (no stairs) and counted how far I have to go to find ore, it's usually been 10-20 blocks down. If you're not finding anything, try a different biome (forest vs bamboo forest vs red hill vs desert, etc.). I know I've had luck in the red hills (that stair step desert-like area that is next to a biome with mossy trees and giant mushrooms). Also check whether you're in a mixed area (some features of two biomes) or 100% inside a particular biome. That may not make a difference, but maybe it does.
I think you might be right about the red rock biome - most of my map was littered with it in the original world.
I suppose it isn't a huge loss with a new world, I accidentally made my base camp next to a predator lair/spawn point (the only reason I can think there is growling and saber cat noises underground) and there are a lot of cats in the area no matter how many I kill.

Wait, "geophysical"...are you talking about "real life" stuff?!?
I looked it up in the "secret" debug screen, and it turns out I was talking about the "Red Cliffs" biome. TUG apparently has a second stairstep biome that it calls "Mesa".
Not sure if that was random or by design, but it seemed to pay off in this case.
