Separate Long Range Ore Detector (2000m & 500m)

Separate block so you can still use the default Ore Detector without issues.

Large Ore Detector, maximum range increase from 150m to 2000m.
Small Ore Detector, maxium range increase from 50m to 500m.

Do not use Large Ore Detector (2000m) on moving grids (like ships or rovers). It very very likely will cause massive lag spikes. I created this for my own world, for static bases only, to not cause these massive lag spikes.
You might still be able to use them by reducing the detection range to somewhere around 300m - best is to figure out the range for yourself where it causes lag spikes.

What you also can do is, stop the vehicle and toggle the 2000m Large Ore Detector on, with an Antenna to broadcast the positions, then remember ie. where you saw the Silver, turn off the 2000m Large Ore Detector and drive to where you remember seeing it and use a normal Large Ore Detector (150m range) to find it when nearby.

For the base, I recommend to put this in an independent (not connected) grid.
Here the setup developers built on Earth map (see the picture on steam): Ore Detector 2000m + Antenna + Battery + Power Source (ie. solar) [no need for the cockpit]
The reason for that is, that it doesn't load up always when entering a seat in the base, which can also cause the lag spike.

I noticed that sometimes, first placement can cause a big lag spike. If you did place it on a static independent grid, it should not happen again.

For me, 500m sometimes causes lag spikes. Default of 250m is fine for me. You can always reduce the range if you get lag spikes and test with high speed flying until you find a value that does not cause issues.

Have fuuuuuuuuuuuun and happy building :)
