About this project
What does Lucio's Prospecting add?
NEEDS Shared Utilities, install it on the server and on every client
prospecting normally gives you one reading at a time. this mod lets you survey a whole area and build it into an actual map. you collect samples in the field, analyse them at a table, and slowly work up to drilling for more detail. the trailer shows how that goes
each sample from a pro pick creates a vertex on the map; Drill core samples create a radius around them that is much more accurate, the deeper the sample, the larger the radius.
Vanilla prospecting is retained as the lowest tier of prospecting, to start using the mod's system, pair a pro pick with an assaying bag.
the map is an item, so you can copy it, merge it, trade it or lose it
made for 1.22.7.
compatibility
- vanilla ores and mods that place ore the vanilla way (like geology additions) just work.
- advanced geology works. anything it can't check yet shows up grey on the map until that terrain is generated.
- interesting ore gen works.
- mods that change what the pro pick does might clash
- if you add an ore mod to an existing world, areas generated before it show that ore as grey, since it was never placed there.
