ScanRanges are the ranges for the three range settings in the UI (so by default 0-3000m, 3000-7500m and 7500-15000m). These are horizontal ranges and are for normal mode. The depth for normal mode is fixed at 150m. For deep mode the directions are flipped, so the scan range is used in the vertical direction, but the ranges are by 12, hence the maximum depth of 1250m ( 15000 / 12 = 1250). In deep mode, the horizontal distance is fixed at 1km.

The limitations are for performance reasons, so you cannot really set the volume to be 20km by 1km.

I hope this helped.

I'm tweaking the Script settings and am a bit confused.
If I understand it correctly

<OreDepositScannerSettings xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ScanRanges>
<Vector2I>

</ScanRanges>
<PowerConsumptionFactors>

For example If I want to up the ranges to say:

Normal mode 20km diameter and lets say 1km depth
Deep mode 5km diameter and 6km depth

then how would I need to edit these files?

Any way to remove the GPS markers? They don't show under GPS

@le'bruh: prospector 2?

@Kuvat, sure thing. Sent you a FR.

@BananeDollar, thank you for the fix. I have updated the mod.

Hiho, just had an Idea for a model for you detector. If you want to talk, do you have disord to write or shall I send you an fl via steam? :) btw, really cool mod

Here's a fixed version of this mod. There was just an error in one line, that needed to be changed a bit.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3350838203

It seems the recent update has done something to this mod. It has options as if it were a gyroscope, with yaw, pitch, roll overrides. Very odd.

I dont see any options on module config screen, only some controls from the gyroscope, is it possible? Maybe the contact update cause something in this mod?

aw man it'd be really usefull :(

Probably, but it would require significant changes. Currently I am not planning to create one for space.

would it be possible for a space version of this?

any one else have the block be invisible when built?

the cooling fans in my PC go nuts when I start scanning, it's like an extra level of immersion, A++!

(obviously I'm joking but don't want this to sound like a complaint, I just found it funny)

this i rather quick but i think i figured the config, but im curious about the deep mode. does it have its own settings or is it running off the normal mode but at a fraction of the normal? meaning if we were to change the settings for normal mode (which does range if i got it right) does it also adjust the depth? mainly asking for games where the ores are rreeaallyyy deep thanks to the recent ore config mod, i can get the ores down to 2km

loving the update, i can find it in the Gmenu now so +++. now i just gotta figure out the numbers in the config, thx @darkmist

I have updated the mod. It should correctly appear now in the progression tree as well as in Large Blocks, Production Blocks and the Void Star Industry group.

A have also added a config file to the World settings, where you can tweak the scan ranges and the power consumption required for those ranges.

I will have to test the G menu problems, but sure, I can add a world config you can tweak. I'll play with this during the weekend...

this mod needs a couple tweeks since last update, like it not showing up in the G menu but that can be solved by searching deposit ( not sure if searching Ore works also ). adding a config file for us to tweek would be hands down the greatest ( not just range but power requirments so i can increase both for server uses). i used alot of ore detector mods and this one by far is my favorite

@Lumpus - search Deposit

Doesn't seem to work. Block doesn't appear even in creative menu

if anybody else wants to edit the range for the deposit scanner --
goto the mod directory (workshop folder) Data>Scripts>Vsi>DepositScanner>OreDepositScannerGameLogic.cs
Ctrl+f to the following line, or goto line 68
private static Vector2I[] m_scanRangeValues = {
edit the minimum and maximum values for each range setting.
my personal edits : are 0-10k, 10k-25k, 25k-40k

I'd suppose, though i haven't encountered a significant performance degradation since my own edit; you could have a different experience.

Is there a config file for this? A way to increase or decrease the scanners reach? I was hoping we could customize the scanners reach and scale with power used for our server. Love the mod though. Using this with deep and spread out ores is great.

Oh ok thanks, was worried that with the fact it only works planet side that it worked like the distance to surface

Depth is relative to the block's position, so it should work if you build it 100m deep. You can also turn on deep mode :)

@ BigDinoPlonker check if you have progression on, it's integrated into it

When using with a mod that makes some ores deeper like AQD - Deeper ores will it work deep underground? Like Mg only spawns 200m down along with Cobalt, if I build it at least a 100m deep will it pick them up or is it only detect based on planet surface depth?

Looks like it doesnt work with latest build. After installing the mod - there is no "Deposit" block in the build menu. :-(

Did you try searching for "Deposit"?

I'm having the same issue

The block isn't in the build menu

Someone now how to fix this?

@Darkmist : thx, this is probably a linux related issue then.

@Sich: it should be working. I haven't done extensive testing just loaded up my test world, but both the autominer and this one worked as expected...

Did anyone tested this mod with the last version ?
For me the block is here, but I don't have the option to scan anything...
As I'm on Linux, I don't know if this is related to Linux, or to the last version of the game.

Works perfectly with Everything On Earth and AQD - Deeper Ores. Thank you!

yay! i was looking for something like this because magnesium is the biggest pain.

Yes, you can add it to an already existing save.

Not sure if this has already been answered but is this safe to add to a current save?

@DarkMist, yes was only a question if you are up for it.

You can always rename the GPS :)

@Darkmist only for order;). When in the deposit stands [ODS] Iron Deposit it is fancyer, only4me;).

@NOVUSzLIK not sure I get what you mean by "3 or 5 pieces to work". If you are referring to cooperation similar to how Assemblers work, it's not possible with ODS.

@TheKao what is the problem you are trying to solve with these custom GPS markers? I mean I am not sure I understand why it matters if the ore was found be ODS or by other means... It is certainly possible to make such options, but I don't want to clutter the terminal unnecessarily.

Hello,
can you add a choice to make custom gps waypoints, for better overview or make gps wayponts lile [ODS] Ore?

Hi!
how to include 3 or 5 pieces for work?
where to change in configs?

Ok thank you i was able to find it in my creative test world now once i searched for deposit. i was using the wrong keywords in the search box. I appreciate the help.

Have you tried searching for it by name? It is usually enough to enter "Deposit" in the search box.

I wanted to try this mod out but when i put it in my active mods I can see the category for it in the g-menu but i don't see it in the category. I looked in the progression tree and did not notice it their either. though it is possible that I missed seeing it in the progression tree as it is not the easiest to search through. So i went into a world that has progression turned off and that category is still empty and i still can't find it anywhere. Am i missing something or is it just not working for me for some reason. the last time i checked it i was in a creative world with almost no mods activated. The ones that were were basically visual things like the compass mod and a fw other graphical mods i run all teh time..

If you build it, say, 250m underground, would that forego the deep scan?
