How do I turn on Node Search Prospecting in an already existing world?

[polsunov]

I created a world some time ago in version 1.19.8, and now I wanted to look for some tin. Then I realized that I only have the Density Search mode with the Prospecting Pick — the Node Search mode is missing. I'm currently playing on version 1.20.9.

I tried asking ChatGPT, and it said I should edit the files in
C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\Saves\(World Name)
but that didn’t work. It also suggested trying in-game commands like
/worldconfigallow allowNodeSearchProspecting true or
/worldconfig set allowNodeSearchProspecting true,
but those didn’t work either.

Has anyone had the same or a similar issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Polsunov

Replace [0-12] with a number above 0 within that range. Don’t include parentheses around the number. 6 is the default, 8 is the maximum in world creation, but I guess you can go up to 12 with commands.
 

/worldconfig propickNodeSearchRadius [0-12]
