[NEW] Ore Detector Insane Range

Description
The July update has broken the original Ore Detector Insane Range mod, so I released this one.

Specs:

Large Grid Vanilla Ore Detector is now set to 30,000m detection range.
Small Grid Vanilla Ore Detector is now set to 12,500m detection range.

I would advise against using any value over 2,000m for detectors on the planets. Most ore deposits stay within that range, so having the detection over 2 km would just give you HUD spam.

NOTE: If you have other mods that change (or add) ship tools or detectors (such as Drills+ or Azimuth Mega Mod Pack), put this mod higher on the list than those!

NOTE: The higher the range, the longer it will take to show up. The way ore detectors work is it calculates all the ores, then displays them all at once. The bigger the range, the more ground to detect, the longer it takes to calculate. I would recommend keeping the range at around 1000 - 3000m on planets. In space, it is nice to have 30km range (especially with low density asteroids), so you don't have to aimlessly go from asteroid to asteroid!

Thank you for your support!

This mod is worth some pretty shit. He doesn't work much more than he does. And it also causes other game bugs.

Works fine read the notes. Planets I use a 150 to 500 km range dont really need more than that on those. I have set it at 4 different settings on ground works fine. If your going 3000km or more on planets well that could be causing ur issues. Also check your mod order as stated in the Notes section of this mod. Once again I no issues with it.

UPDATE:::

DO NOT USE THIS MOD!!!

Problems from the start, not working, etc. Then, no ore detectors worked. After removing the mod from my game, still no ore detectors worked, including the character drill. Created a new world, no mods: No ore detection, not from ore detectors, nor from handheld drill. My friend was on with me, his game is buggered also. We're going to have to reinstall the whole game just to "hopefully" recover from this shit mod!

DO NOT USE THIS MOD!!!

Got it to work kinda, once. Set it to maximum distance, and the antenna to maximum distance. When the ore finally showed up, it only showed the ore that was out in space, not on the moon. In fact, the ore right next to the base didn't show at all. And now, not even my drill is showing anything. :steamsad:

I played around with load order as well, I'm still not convinced it does anything, at least that you can rely on. At any rate, this mod is showing me 5 deposits in a 30km radius, when there are 8 within a few hundred meters that aren't showing.

Does it start with immediate surroundings, or furthest? The ~15km ones showed up right away.

Thanks for this mod.
I got this to start to work, it showed me a couple of deposits ~10km away, but didn't show many right beside me. When I fired up another [modded] ore detector, it showed nothing, my drill showed nothing, and the vanilla detector (when power cycled) also now wouldn't show anything.
