how do i prospect the entire solar system at once?

[Fairin the Drakitty]

i am legally blind and cannot find this option in the solar system or prospecting tab.

the only way i have found to prospect is to click on the object in the main screen and send a probe.

i am absolutely not doing this for every stupid asteroid in the entire belt.

and i feel like i'll miss moons of jupiter or some ♥♥♥♥

**What i want** a button on the prospecting tab that reads "Prospect All" - i click it, and i send out the probes to do the job.

**what i am experiencing** a point and click adventure game with eyestrain and migraines

if there is a way to prospect faster than zooming around the main view, or clicking the zoom to button on individual asteroids, do tell.

if there is a button on the thing i do not see, please show me a screenshot.

There is no "prospect all".

However in the intel tab there is a sortable list of all "bodies" with an probe icon indicating its been prospected, can be prospected or cannot be prospected. (near where it sorts by resources) Click on the probe and it lets you send a probe from this screen. This should help.

Where are you up to now? Mission to the Moon? Mission to Mars? Mission to Asteroids? Until you get to Mission to Asteroids, there should be only so few valid targets to probe. Do you play with orbit trails on or off?

The truth is you dont NEED to prospect all of them.
Most asteroids are just metals, and only a little bit.
Sort by the resource you need. Send probes to the best, repeat with the rest of the resources.

... are you really sure? I mean, you do know you'll be right next to some tentacle faced neighbors.

"the reason they scream when they see me, is not because they're trying to intimidate me."

"it is because they are terrified"

Tip nr 2. You can press 'enter' to close the popup you get after you've sent a probe, so it's pretty quick to just send a bunch.

No no no. The prospecting probe is from the great Chadian space program...
