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.

b Problematic interaction with rp warfare

1 year, 6 months ago

Hi!

RP warfare (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rp_warfare) has turrets that sling molten copper/iron and when it lands it generates an ore patch (iron-ore-slag/copper-ore-slag) that can be mined up again. Prospector mod sees those patches as just another ore patch and generates the seams/veins/patches and depleted variants of them.

I don't think it makes sense to do that. Flinging a piece of molten metal should be gathered up in one miner go and not two rounds of prospecting and it shouldn't potentially generate an infinite ore source :)

Could you please blacklist those two ores from getting prospector to apply on them?

Done. I hope that fixes it for you.

Seems to be working. Thanks!
