No Mineral Deposit Detected
As the title says, no mineral deposit detected. Putting the Mineral Extractor right over a deposit of Phosphorous and it says nothing is detected.

Not the first time this has happened to me. Im guessing this is a bug thats been around a while?

What type of deposit did you find? If it is the type that is visible on the surface, then you can only extract it with the terrain tool.

The mineral extractor (the one powered by electricity) only works on hotspots, i.e. those you find with the hotspots scanner.

Check that you have found the right type of hot spot (mineral), and that the extractor is correctly positioned, and has power.

I have never experienced any bugs with the features of the extractor, or with the hotspots you find, the problems that can occur are always caused by user error.

This is the first time hearing of a Hotspot Scanner, thank you for letting me know. This is a new mechanic I wasnt aware of.

It is this technology that you must install in your multitool to find hotspots.

And it can be bought in Anomalyn, from the Multitool NPC.

Got everything figured out, much appreciated.
