ALUMINIUM IS CREATED IN THE FORGES BY SMELTING BAUXITE NOT FOUND IN THE WORLD AS AN ORE

IN-DEPTH MAP ORE RESOURCE & COLOUR GUIDE (GENERIC + ASYLUM)

This guide explains how map colours represent underground resources in 7 Days to Die and Asylum / heavily modded maps. Colours appear as small squares or clusters on the map and indicate what resource is available to mine in that area.

STANDARD 7 DAYS TO DIE RESOURCE COLOURS

Brown / Dark Brown
Iron ore deposits

Black
Coal ore deposits

Blue / Light Blue
Lead ore deposits

White
Potassium nitrate deposits

Grey
Stone and large surface boulders

Light Brown / Tan
Oil shale (desert biome only)

ASYLUM / MODDED RESOURCE COLOURS

Peach / Light Orange
Bauxite
Primary biome: Forest

Dark Blue
Cobalt
Primary biome: Snow

Light Blue
Titanium
Primary biome: Wasteland

Pink / Magenta
Uranium
Primary biome: Wasteland

Green-Blue / Teal
Zinc
Primary biome: Burnt

Pale Light Blue
Lead
Appears as lighter blue spots, commonly mixed within iron node areas

Black- quartz found in the desert

MIXED AND SHARED RESOURCE NOTES

Iron node areas can contain additional materials when mined, including lead and small amounts of zinc depending on mod balance.

Not all resources have a unique biome colour. Some appear only as secondary materials inside iron deposits rather than as dedicated map zones.

MAP READING NOTES

Solid colour clusters indicate primary resource veins.
Small dots or mixed colouring indicate overlapping or secondary resources.
Deeper mining increases yield and chances of higher-tier materials.
Wasteland biomes contain end-game resources but significantly higher danger.
