i tried the script on Triton on a server that allows Pb but it says planet unidentified and doesn't give me any GPS cords why?

oh good it works with deep ores

Nothing showing up in Custom Data. I assume because of a mod or something the server uses. But in the program data screen, it shows a bunch of what looks like GPS coordinates. Is it just not pushing that data to Custom Data, or is that part of the background program's searching? I mean, if I went there, would I find some kind of ore?

Would it be possible to add a way to set a minimum range? i've looked at the code and it should be pretty easy i think

So, I assume this only works with the stock star system seed?

does this work with the deep ores mod ?

nice , now if there was a way to have this work in space to scan multiple asteroids in the same range. :D

Great Skript! Very helpful for beginners

Ah, cool. So it would pinpoint the correct location relative the the planets centre but just not the right depth. Thanks!

If you were talking about this one:

yes the spots don't change just the elevation you will find them. I just tested with one spot on Mars with cobalt at about 400m deep.

Anything that modify the ore spots positions would render this useless. By the way I am studying the Pertam case, tricky one :D

Great script, would this work with hardcore deep ore mods by any chance?

As far I know: no I can't easily do it at least. There are numerous reasons (I won't expand on it here). Also I am not really interested in doing so, for now.

Tested, and it works. Do you think it can work on asteroids? Im thinking of doing surveying by getting the gps of asteroids Im looking at...I think your script works by checking things from a certain gps coord so I wonder if it would work if you get the "center" of an asteroid.

Yes that help a lot ! Ty i will try again. :-)

I added a video in which I show how I use it.

hello. Align to center? in the video you just dropped a ship on the planet surface. you mean this?

I removed the missing projected strips onto the sphere there were about 4km wide which would generated no ore spots or very little around those areas.

Do you to see a demo in video ?

For the rest of what you said I need further information.

The first gps given is the GPS of the planet's center btw. You need to align those two to be at the right place.

So this script is doing a guess with existing pattern some places can have "false positive".

Also the Ur part yes this is a leftover from an XML parsing, there are no uranimum on stock planets.

It throws three errors when I compile it, but it still seems to work. I don't understand why it's showing uranium on planets when there isn't any (probably it's ice as that's what KSH used to replace uranium).

Also, it mapped at least one deposit deep within the planet. I moved myself to that location in spectator mode and detonated a warhead nearby to check, and nothing was there. I'm not sure what was going on, but it clearly put a marker there.
