JSGaming - Tiered OreDetectors V2

Description
JSGaming Tiered Blocks
The main focus of my "Tiered Blocks" is to create a single stronger blocks that can replace multiple vanilla blocks.
With this approach players need to build less blocks wich will improve game and server performance.

As an example: A tier 4 block is worth 16 vanilla blocks but you only have to build 1 block and there is only 1 functioning. It also prevents the need of building big.

A lot of attention has been paid to maintaining balance between tiered and vanilla blocks.
Custom components have been added for progression.

In case of DLC blocks:
Tiered DLC Blocks stay locked behind the DLC. If this mod includes DLC blocks, you need to "OWN" the DLC to use them. I am not unlocking these blocks for everyone.
As far as im aware, not owning the DLC shouldnt prevent you from using this mod for just the base game blocks.

  • BuildTimeSeconds: 1.5
  • PCU: 1.75

Well any mod that spawns ore deeper then 300m is not performance friendly, and it basicly misses the focus of my mod: performance

What about player using mods that spawns ore deeper inside planets? Some of those won't show up with the maximum of 300m.

No there isn’t. And thrust me you don’t want to. The ore detector scans every voxel to check if it’s set as rare (meaning it’s an ore) to show it. You really do not want to scan a larger area on a planet. So I did give it some boost, but limited.

I know it is most likely for performance but is there a way to disable the maximum range for planets?
