[Request] Simple Mod to increase resource probe range

[Gfeitosa]

Hey guys,

I have been trying to find a way to increase the resource probe range.

Could anyone help? I'm new to modding.

Thanks in advance.

What should this be good for?

First, your probe would probably generate locally incorrect data since ressource density varies and if it scans too far it might just include too much variety.
second, own miners give a crap about where it actually is how dense and just seem to randomly mine anywhere.

It would help me build a station near the resource I am looking for.

Hm, I would buy a bigger miner, to solve that problem. Or use a lot of resource probes, to make sure, I actually have the area with the biggest resources. Remember, you get only one set of numbers out of one probe, you want a pattern over your sector though.

Or just use a big miner and big storages, that should make your factories run at full workload.

Or did I get your problem wrong?

How about a mod to have the miners drop probes for you. So you can clear your mission logs from those annoying Deploy resource probe missions.
