Yes. It will also be up to date forever unless they change the formula, because it specifically only overwrites it without affecting any other part of the game.

Is this up to date?

Awesome. I hate having to manually make sure miners are always near a probe... Thanks.

The most beloved hidden penalty since Terraria added bad luck with ladybugs and torches.

@Tisoon:
It does remove the penalty from NPC factions if they own at least one probe in the sector. The vanilla penalty code checks for probe ownership, so your probes will not remove their penalty and vice versa.

Does this mod also affect AI miners? Or do they still follow the Vanilla behaviour?
Thanks for the mod 🙂

At some point in the tutorial it is mentioned that a miner without a probe is less efficient but I thought it would be like a bonus if a probe was within the sector and not like penalty and the miner needing to be in range of it

@IchBinGroot
I didn't claim it only affects the player. A penalty is still a penalty if both parties can receive it. The problem is the lack of information about its existence, and the lack of feedback if and when it is applied to your ships. Players who enjoy the penalty can choose not to use the mod.
IchBinGroot 17 Mar @ 2:42pm 
the penalty applies for ALL mining ships. the reason is balancing. the AI get this penalty too. the idea is to boost the player if the probes are used.
so what everyone calling a penalty is just 'normal'

So the presumed intent is to equip miners with probes and when they arrive somewhere, drop the probe. Refill as needed. As usual makes good sense from a perspective one would have no idea to start from ;)
