I think you should add [Spoilers] on the tittle of this thread.

I believe @handofthesly and the others have list for that?
It's based on my experience:
Saltpeter, Sulphur, Gold, Clay can be find inside cave at any biome except polar biome.
Saltpeter (most of the time) is common at temperate biome.
Sulfur/Sulphur (most of the time) is common at arid biome.
Copper (most of the time) will not or rarely available at starting island.

Let me know if I wrote something wrong. ;)

I have  visited  temperate and   tropical and found on each   iron, coal, some copper, once  gold on the surface flint and  some  saltpeter. and clay and  flint

Sulphur and  copper mainly on arid regions ..and   sometimes  gold    in caves   or around the  edges of cave openings.

You can be lucky and find   iron and coal together.

 To a degree it seems Its  all depending on the roll  of the  dice when the   islands  created..

Is the game programmed so that all needed items WILL BE generated?

no, in explore it seems like it spawns some of the basics but in general everything is biome specific. me and a friend did some research (not sure of his forum username):

Arid:
Sulphur
Saltpeter
Flint
Copper
Sandstone

Temperate:
Coal
Iron
Flint
Clay
Saltpeter

Taiga and tundra:
Iron
Copper
Coal
Clay
Flint
Snow
Ice

Polar desert:
Snow (shocking, i know)

Tropical:
Flint
Coal
Iron
Clay
Saltpeter

I’ve come up with basically the same findings but I haven’t managed to update the wiki with that information yet. Struggling to get solid info on which biomes have gold, as it’s mostly in cave systems on polar desert Ylands but I’m sure I’ve found it in other Ylands too. If anyone can validate where they have found gold with screenshots would be awesome and then I could update the wiki pages

I kind of knew from observation that different things are on different biomes.  My question was about totality.  In total, will everything you need always be in SP? Somewhere?

if you generate a map in editor then the simple answer is no it won't. if using explore then it will

Caves seem to act like their own biome. i've found them in various biomes and varying depths with different resources.
