Rustroot

[D00mHouse]

I feel like rustroot should have a much larger scanning range for ores, I mean the way it is right now you just have to get really lucky to find anything useful with it. Perhaps even a new skill to greatly increase the ore scanning range?
What's your guys thoughts on this?

[painhertz]

Seems like too specialized a thing to warrant it's own skill, maybe lump it in with tunneling or one of the new metal skills?

Increasing qualities on extract will increase range.

Going from a 5 square detection space to 10 is not enough

Raise the quality more, not a little.

Yeah, it will be very useful when it says "there appears to be gold below" and then range is like 100x100 tiles

In case you get this you are standing over a tile containing gold, the direction indicator is for when you stand on a dud.

I guess i got very bad rustroot then. It just says "Theres gneiss directly below"

Jorb, would you mind releasing the RR extract formula? Ie which of the three quality matters (or matters the most), or if all matter equally is it an arithmetic or a geometric mean?

Yes.

If I'm reading the code correctly the geometric mean of all three dimensions is what is relevant, at least.
