mining vane

[kitblue1]

sorry if i being annoying with all the questions. but is there a mod to see a ore vane without waiting for it to be opened by mining ones in front of it?

You can use dev mode to unfog the map.

Or you can use this mod:

That's cheating though, but fine if you're ok with that. This is why you would mine long corridors into the mountain to find any. Mining rocks doesn't take as long. I mean if you're cheating why not just spawn a bunch of steel in. But do whatever, it's your game, play how you want to play it.

Right, that's what he's doing, is playing how he wants to play it, and asking about mods to be able to do that.

Having said that, I do a similar thing where I have mods that give me steel in almost anyway possible. The pawns still work for it or it is still something that has to be acquired in some way with some effort, but the colony has much more steel available to it.

I just want to be able to see the ore vane not spawn more in sorry if i worded that wrong before.

The mod and dev mode option do only show mineral veins. They do not spawn more.

I hope I'm not being too vain by pointing out that your "ore vane" doesn't exist because that would be an ore vein ;)

Vane
noun: vane; plural noun: vanes
a broad blade attached to a rotating axis or wheel which pushes or is pushed by wind or water and forms part of a machine or device such as a windmill, propeller, or turbine.
short for weathervane.
the flat part on either side of the shaft of a feather.
You could make a windmill out of boat oars, and be really proud about it as it blows your hair in the wind.
I'll get my coat...

They were being funny in a very non-offensive way. You are the one who has decided to make it personal.

I hope you have lots of pillows to wrap yourself in when you finally go out into the big wide adult world where mummy isn't there protect you from those meanies.

It's fine let's not make it worse by actually being mean.

[glass zebra]

Thankfully there are other people around not being mean on purpose and caring about protecting others. Pillows are pretty great though.

Press the "=" key when selecting a single ore tile, which shows the entire vein. It's a vanilla feature.

I didn't know about the = feature, seems like you shouldn't know how much there is until you've exposed it all.

That's because it's not actually part of vanilla: it's a feature of the Allow Tool mod.
