do you mean ore is no where or it just does not show as "gold" on your screen when you go up to it with a drill?

Hi, share more clues about where you play, because ores are not the same on all planets, moons and different Biomes so it is important to specify where you play.

OR
Just share your "Bugged" save here so all players reading can load to help you find the problem and see if the same in different PCs.

-> How to save a world in your Workshop and paste the link here :

1 - Select your save.

2 - Click the "Publish" button on the left.

3 - Choose a proper Tag, check Steam upload and click the OK button.

4 - Your world will be uploaded to Steam Workshop.

5 - Paste the Workshop item link here.

That said, last ship I was working on is a brand new Ore Finder Ship for space and I can see the ore sginal way way much better by using the large block ore detector :

I forgot to specify, If you share the Bugged save :

-> Don't forget to save with your character right in front of the bug, so where you don't see the ore signal.

I am playing on earth, with a mod that buffs ore detector, even with it, I still don't see any ore whatsoever, loaded new save, went without mods, turn off experimental, held the drill, nothing worked

I can tell it should work OK because all good on my side so there is something wrong for sure if not working in your PC.

Share your bugged save, I will load to at least see if the same in my PC.

+
IF all good on my side, try the important to do when having game problems.
so #1 + #2 + #3 + #4 in the Forum/Community workaround(s) Pin added to Troubleshooting sub forum :

I will add :

Ore detector Mod is not needed when we play at the Easy Biomes on Earth Planet where Rich ore spots can be found that is where all ores are close to each other within 1Km.

Easy Biome = Sand soil = Ore detector block not needed (edited)

Earth planet got 2 Easy Biomes :

GPS:Earth Easy Biome:48784.05:-5056.35:34844.1:

GPS:Earth Desert ice lake:-10568.09:-10242.01:58045.57:#FF75C9F1:

You may prefer to test one of my premade saves in my Workshop, this one got the character saved at the Easiest Biome on Earth.

Load in and enable creative from the Admin menu Alt+F10 to test faster :

here, also i tried every step from the list u sent, didn't help

Is that a meteor impact ?

Looking at the image cover of your Workshop item it looks like a Meteor impact and some of those will not show the ore signal, some may show the ore in but nothing is collected when Drilling and some work very well but always give a bit of ore.

OR
It is a Boulder ?

Boulders are random and will give more ore than Meteor impact.

That said, I will now go try your save and feedback my testing results to you after.

it was a meteor, there were few of them, none of them show ore signals, i'm puzled cause my friend has the same problem, i looked trough the mods, nothing seemed to bug out

First testing done = Those are meteor impacts and it's "normal" to find bugged ones.

Testing details :

1 - First I have enabled Creative from the admin menu so I could fly without Hydrogen and found 2 Meteor impacts where your character was saved :
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526023188
2 - After that I have searched the ice lake to find a patch of ore veins and found a big one :
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526023387
3 - I have used the character hand drill to see the ore veins :
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526023643
Conclusion :
No Bugs because I was able to detect ore veins with the character hand drill.

I have noticed the "Bug" you found was on meteor impact and that is very normal. well it's a thing the community keep reporting since a very long time and the SE Programmers never fixed so we got used to some Meteor impacts not working like they should.

I will add :

You may report on the Official SE1 Support Portal to see what the SE programmers will reply about meteor impacts not working.

-> Click "Submit Bug" on the Official SE1 Support Portal to have a SE Programmer testing the bug for you and tell you if they will fix or not.
