Prospecting WTF

[Ranma]

If you draw 2 lines for each pie slice you can see that all of them overlap at the same spot.

So I don't understand why people are saying wtf

wow, never thought to draw extended lines to locate the spot, new inspiration
how could i miss something that simple

thanks for the idea !

From what I understand of prospecting, once you fail metal detection on a spot you cannot see any metal there until you've let the map unload. There's always a chance a detection will turn up nothing.

If you've gone back to that spot at a later date and retested I've no clue though. The fabled ghost node I suppose.

Thought prospecting only showed what's on the lower level...

It does.
Maybe it's pointing to different points in the node?
The node is larger than 1 tile definitely.

Metals dont spawn in *nodes* they spawn in vains...

Metal doesn't "spawn".
