Rustroot

Post by 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?

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 :cry:

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 :roll:

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

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.
