[Mod] Prospector [1.0] [prospector]

[Oblomov]

This mod provides a prospecting kit, that combines the capabilities of the mapping kit and binoculars, enables radar view in the minimap, and can give hints about the location of hidden ores.

Lastest version: 1.0.1

The kit is built combining the mapping kit, binoculars, and two prospecting lenses, assembled from 4 gold ingots, 4 diamond and 1 mese crystal each.

where L is the lens, B the binoculars, M the mapping kit.

When the prospecting kit is in the (main) inventory, the minimap can be enabled with the appropriate key (cycling through both aerial and radar views), and the user can use zoom view (with a FOV that is even smaller than the one provided by the binoculars).

Using the prospecting kit will make all surrounding ores emit glowing particles that float towards the user. Using this feature will provisionally disable all uses of the kit (including mapping and binoculars) for a few seconds.

The recovery time and the range of the detection function can be set via the config options prospector.recovery_time and prospector.ore_detection_range. Setting prospector.ore_detection_range to 0 disables the ore detection feature altogether.
