Use "tool switch" key to change between ore and mineral readings with the propick

[EstebanLB 183]

That, we may be needing this in the future as the rest of the minerals get added to the worldgen and get an use.

IRL whe you prospect the ground looking for something, you discard samples you are not interested about. Doing it for each ore and mineral is not worth it, but it might be for all minerals and all ores. What fo you think?

I think that this can be very useful in case you're near minerals but you want to search ores. Or you can make that the blue propick searches the ores and the red searches the minerals.

Nahhh, progressing to the latest tier for that?! Insane

I think the realism aspect here is that you may or may not find something in a given sample when you check. So to be able to choose what to find seems like cheating. However, I do think the propick should have a chance to return more than one reading, like "found traces of saltpeter and a small sample of native copper". That seems realistic, where you'd take a sample and find more than one thing in it when you look at it.

I don't think this will happen. It's too unrealistic. Might be able to get the pick to display ALL ore/mineral readings, but that's a stretch.
