noohuj Posted June 12, 2025 Report Posted June 12, 2025 i had a massive copper node that i found after i decided to check the claystone floor of my dirt home. it came out at a huge 19-21%. eventually found it but since im at like (x, 60) decided to look around for other stuff, and the copper still came out as huge. does that indicate another massive node somewhere or is the former node still detected?
Maelstrom Posted June 12, 2025 Report Posted June 12, 2025 (edited) Welcome to the forums! Node search mode adds all of the blocks of ore in a cube 13 blocks in "diameter" (on default setting) in real time and spits out a general indication of how many blocks it found ranging from no ore found (if sum was exactly zero blocks), trace for 1 to a small handful, all the way up to huge (I think if it's a couple/few hundred). It's possible that the node search found multiple deposits within the search area. It will also indicate multiple ores and relative sizes. Edited June 12, 2025 by Maelstrom 2
SubtleOrc Posted June 19, 2025 Report Posted June 19, 2025 yes, if its totally mined out within node search (short range) search then you will get zero readings 1

If you remove every block with ore in it, the results per mille should not change. That mode is telling you the weighted average chance of an ore node existing in that matrix, not in any way affected by what's actually there. I'm as sure of that as I can be without save scumming. 2
