Pretty good

is this just a range change?

tried so much of mods for detectors, but this one works fine with Better Stones :)

i have a configurable version in the works so you will be able to use chat commands to set the max ranges to anything you like

Just tried this mod, it causes insane lag spikes if you try to fly around with it on.

hey, im sorry im only replying to you now (you commented on the fork i made of this) and wanted to apologize for not giving you proper credit, and added it to the missing description. i was in quite a hurry when i made it. please look at my reply on the forked mod as well.

i only just noticed i said square meters when i meant to say cubic, also i boosted the range since your last comment since i had a lot of people ask for larger range on the few servers i play that are also using it

I have quite a beefy laptop and i have experienced ore detectors with greater range. The scan results are almost instantaneous in asteroid fields. I do know that in a sphere, the surface area is exponentially bigger when the radius is increased. Having a config file that can accept a value no greater that 1000m would by handy.

Please set the categories correctly on your mod - this is not a planet or asteroid and shouldn't be in those categories as it just makes it harder to find those things.
Kaiechi  [author] 11 Jul, 2020 @ 3:27am 
eg 50m range is 524,000 square meters and 250m range is 65,400,000 square meters.
5 times the range but almost 125 times as much volume to scan
Kaiechi  [author] 11 Jul, 2020 @ 3:22am 
theres no config options on this mod atm.

also keep in mind as the scan radius goes up the volume of the sphere it scans increases exponentially and in turn takes more and more processing the further you go out
LeonidasTLM 11 Jul, 2020 @ 2:54am 
is it possible to edit the range values? For example the small range to be 800 m.

Oh, gotchya. thanks

Keen updated the voxel generator a long time ago, changed asteroid shapes and placements of ores
Mantha 7 Jul, 2020 @ 5:13pm 
What were the changes in how ores spawn?

Thanks. Have a dedicated server, will try this out there. :)

Thanks for this. I was getting tired of having to literally get close enough to every asteroid to practically identify the ores by sight before the detector would kick in.
