      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Question about Prospecting Picks

Started by yosomith,

Curious about a clarifcation as I can't seem to find an answer elsewhere (maybe I'm not looking hard enough) they scan an area 25x25x25 from the block you pick, but in what directions?

Like does it scan 25 in each direction out from you?

Does it scan a 25x25x25 area centred on the block you pick?

Is the block you pick on the edge of the area it scans?

Some sort of visual representation I think would better explain this mechanic to some people, myself included.

The block that you scan is the central block of a 25x25x25 cube. Then it scans 12 in every direction starting from the scanned block.

Also:

1) it has 50% false negatives returns. (nothing, when there is actually something)

2) when there is more then one ore type in range, for example two, the return splits between the ores: 50% false, 25% ore1 and 25% ore2, and there size as always.

that way, if you have a huge vein of ore1, and one block of ore2 in the middle, you will still get ore2 50% of time (even though it's size is so small in compare)
