Better Stone Compatible?
Could this be set up to also work with the Better Stone v7.0.3f mod? It makes mining a bit more realistic getting more than a single item per deposit, and this would make that feel a bit more enjoyable, not bouncing from asteroid to asteroid hopelessly in search of fuel.

Thats a fantastic idea. I'll check out Better Stone v7.0.3f and see if I get different readings for the ore. If so I'll create a "betterOre" options you can turn on if you're using that mod. I may even be able to detect the mod as well. Thanks Soridar for the suggestion.

I had this same question and did some minor testing. At first glance it appears that Better Stone ores are detected, logged, and added to the GPS list, but there is no display for them in the "deposits found" list.

ahh you're right. This is because the item id's are different then the display names. I'll fix that up and post 1.2 soon. Thanks for testing Shadefang!

Ok got it fixed. Just testing now and will post shortly.
Onosendai  [developer] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 5:15pm 
All fixed and posted. So now OFP should support ANY ore name not just Vanilla or Better Stone. Still more to do on this though. I'd assume the more ore listed will make the screen hard to see. So would be good have the screen scroll etc. More updates to come. Please test this out and let me know if there are issues here or on the github page.

I just tried it and it is not finding anything from the better ores. It actually isn't even showing the normal ore I am sitting on now even.

Hmm.. Ok I'll double check it. Thanks Soridar.
Onosendai  [developer] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 11:20pm 
Question. Do you get any GPS coordinates? or nothing at all?
Onosendai  [developer] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 11:20pm 
Also if you look at the programming block for OFP is there any error?

If you have a min take a look at this world I've published. It has OFP/OreDetector Raycast/Better Stone all rolled up in a test world with 2 ships outfitted with OFP screens. Let me know if this also doesnt work for you and thanks again for testing Soridar.

One thing to double check Soridar is to make sure you have the OreDetector RayCast mod enabled for your world. If not the Ore Detector wont have the ability to "Scan" for ore. Mods are a little different than ingame scripts. They not only need to be subscribed to but then added in the mods area of the save game.

Sorry, been a bit busy. Will check later tonight and let you know. Though I can tell you, yes I have Raycast Mod running, which is why I was showing the reg Fe node before, as I thing the Fe+ node comes up like the vanilla one, so it registered on the system, before the change.
Onosendai  [developer] 22 Jul, 2020 @ 6:57am 
No worries :) Just wanted to make sure you were up and running.
Soridar 22 Jul, 2020 @ 7:28am 
ran into some wife agro, so did a bit of diving into it this morning. so it might have been something on my side, so waiting for a verify to run right now, as there might be an issue with better stone files lol.
