Prospector

by Mylon

Adds prospecting to enrich ore patches. Extends the lifetime of ore patches with some investment, but comes with the drawback of making mining slower.

i How does it exactly work?

7 years ago

Hey Mylon, i took a look at this mod of your and i think i really like it.
So first off, thank you for the work put into it!

Though, i kinda have trouble to exactly understand what happens.
The rough frame is set; ore patch gets depleted, needed to be enriched via the prospector.
But how many times can you enrich it? Or rather, what routine is behind it?

A bit larger tutorial/explanation would be awesome.

Since bob&angel&yuoki are at the moment a bit too much (of a mindf***) for me :P BUT i find vanilla indeed a bit lackluster, i enjoy these kinda mods very much.

Ore has tiers. Prospectors turn nearby tier 1 ore in to tier 2 veins. Prospector 2 turn nearby tier 2 ore into tier 3 seams (and can also upgrade tier 1 to tier 2). After that, ore is fully depleted. You don't have to deplete a resource patch before you upgrade it, any leftover gets rolled over into the new ore patch.
