Gt-new-horizons-modpack: Mod Suggestion(s) GT VeinLocator and DetravScannerMod

[Bryfer]

GT VeinLocator

There's a guy who made a simple mod for those who don't want to dig a hole for ore-hunting: https://github.com/GWYOG/GTVeinLocator. It adds some scanners for locating or prospecing ore viens and can even automatically create waypoints in JourneyMap.
I have no idea about its balance in this modpack; but if you do want to add a portable scanner like that, this mod could be a good choice.

i tested the mod. Tier one only show position of veins, tier 2 write down empty waypoints to jorneymap so you cant see is there a vein or not and only tier 3 shows the exact vein or shows empty.
If you have this tool you never will use the sismic prospector. This 3 vein locators are better then ov and od scanner so i will tier them behind.

I think the current OD/OV scanner have no issue with them. By the time u can make those scanner, you could probably dig really fast down to bedrock anyway. And those scanner have quite abit of range actually, at least the OV one does. I could scan upto 1k~2k ores around me in the middle of the vein. Its not as small as SwardGames said in #1339

Currently, the OD/OV Scanners are not very well suited to GregTech oregen, scanning for ores in a 9/25 block large cube around you.

I will only add the advanced locator and tier it IV/Luv. It will use the OV scanner in the recipe.

@3131CuNb is this mod for Gergetch Ores/Veins usefull too ? I see only ic2 in the dpendencies in code.

[3131CuNb]

you can see which ores are in the chunk

[Dream-Master]

Will look at it later

This scanner looks like a more advanced variant maybe need to add both mods

[Bryfer]

I think we should go with the DetravScannerMod and skip the GT VeinLocator
because the Scannermod looks way more badass, and by the looks of it, its an working ingame item, which seems alot more fun than an item that just talks to you and adds journeymap waypoints

[Dream-Master]

Ok i will test the mod today.

@Bryfer @noobyaran9 @3131CuNb I need someone make fixes for this mod make it compatible with the newest gt version

[Dream-Master]

Ok make this mod GTNH Compatible.

@dream-master
Why did this issue get closed?
The detravscanner mod added too many other things, but what happend to GT vein locator?

[Dream-Master]

We get a new mod soon with only the scanners. The other scanner isn't that good in my opinion.

[KaneHart]

Not sure if I can suggest anything here. But I personally like an "OPTION" To allow a low level scanner with not even need for ore info to be used right from the start in a sense. I'm thinking some sort of basic hammer and something else that you could tap on the surface just to detect if there is something underground.

I would say a big chunk of us kind of got tired of GTNH Because of the boring ore grind. I personally would be back in a flash if I could right from the near start do this without having to do any 3 chunk mine 3 chunk mine type system.

Right now I personally just fine it's a pure boring grind there is no education to it at all it's just a pure long long grind and I think GTNH Already offers more exciting and interesting grinding without making the user have to search forever for ores.

That being said I love mining a ton and enjoy it even with GTNH Style it's relaxing for me. My issue like I said 100% the searching.

Hope we can make 2.0 amazing!

It it actually already possible to hit the ground with a GT Hammer to get an idea of what's behind the rock.

[KaneHart]

I thought that was super close wise. I'm thinking something more on the surface like a prospector or something idea without having to dig.

[Dream-Master]

@KaneHart in the version 1.5 or 2.0 whatever we call it there are a LV and a MV miner same as IC2 Miner. It dig out ores where you put it on the Ground like a pump. It is available in after you can make steel and steam. I guess this makes digging out ores more automate-able.

GT Scanner are added at LuV Tier
