Asteroid Mineral Scanner

Description
This adds a Asteroid Mineral Scanner building that allows you to search for rich asteroids in a specific resource in orbit as an alternative to the vanilla long-range mineral scanner on the surface. You may find slightly more resources in comparison in addition to small amounts of vacstone for the additional fuel and labor effort of going to orbit.


Can be researched with long-range mineral scanners and built from the Misc tab. Operates just like a vanilla long-range mineral scanner but for space!

Added custom artwork to the mod! Artwork credit to Madman666 from the Dub's Bad Hygiene discord server.

Mod Settings:

Being usable under roofs (default: on)
Minimum average time to find (default: same as vanilla)
Days to guaranteed find (default: same as vanilla)

@E interesting, I may look into a way to automatically generate those as options.

Great mod for odyssey gameplay. For anyone using mods that add mineable ores(solar forged steel from Milira, for example): If you are scanning for an ore modded into the game, you might find an asteroid only full of vacstones and not desired ore. Simply editing SpaceMapGenerator.xml to add the modded ores will solve the issue.

8/2/25 Update:
Made the Asteroid Mineral Scanner buildable & usable under a roof by default.
Updated Build Category from Misc to Odyssey

Okay I double checked the mod settings, by default you can always build it under a roof, but if you want to use it under a roof you have to turn on the mod setting. Enough people are asking me that I'm just going to make it always usable under a roof by default.

@Neunmalkug you can just toggle the mod setting.

pls let me build it under roof ;)

I'll fix the default mod setting when I am back home tomorrow.

@ everyone, I had the same issue where it wouldn't work roofed or not. If you go into the settings and check usable under a roof it fixes the issue.

This mod has been absolutely game changing in the best ways. These discovered asteroids are so much richer than the average ones. Love it!!
