[QoL] Radio Spectrometry

Description
Investigate far away asteroids using radio spectrometry to get an idea about their composition before you actually travel to it. This is an LCD script, select it from the scripts list for any LCD Panel.

Point your ore detector directly at a distant asteroid to get a readout. Access the readouts by loading the Radio Spectrometry Reader script in any block with an LCD.

There needs to be a spike in the graph at each of the 3 points of an ore for that ore to be present in the asteroid.

Does not work on planets.

Ore Detector must be unobstructed and have a clear line of sight to the asteroid. It also must be on the same grid as the LCD.


Server friendly (code only runs on client). Mod must be included in the mod list on the server for clients to use it.

Modding
Modders can manually define the resolution of the block by inserting the following XML into their definition. If undefined the script will simply take the Max range as the resolution.
<ModExtensions> <Group Name="ResourceRadiospectrometry"> <Decimal Name="Resolution" Value="150" /> <!-- bigger is less noise --> </Group> </ModExtensions>

This was mentioned by some below. The problem is that the facing on the type-II is not the same as the facing on the type-I. To get this to work, the type-1 facing is the cylindrical end. However, for the type-II, you want to point the 1x1 axis as up, and the front face is one of the 1x2 elevation sides. Which one I am not sure, so you may have to try a few times to figure it out.

Hello there,
First of all thanks for tihs giant tool.
I'm testing with the Ore Type I & II, and as far as I see, it is not working with Type II (only 1 detector at the time)
Anyone else? Or I'm missing smth? ^^u
Thanks!!

Rastlore30 Thanks for the response. I was thinking the issue is with Type II ore detect and how script deals with it.

Just tested it, works fine for me. Had to remove a secondary Ore Detector type II I had placed as deco... seems it will cycle through all ore detectors on the same grid regardless if they are on or not.

Is anyone else having issue with no asteroid being detected. I've the ore detector on the same grid and pointing directly at the asteroid. Script is load into the LCD. Used the mod awhile ago without any issue, possible before the two latest SE update.

Thanks Draygo, I thought that was the case when I read through other commentary. I'll do additional testing on another save and narrow down what might be causing the issue.

This mod does not send data to or from a server so

??

Has anyone else had issues running this on a dedicated server? The mod worked flawlessly, but would seemingly flood the server with packets. Issue immediately went away upon removal.

Could we all ask Keen to add this to the game, as a Tier II ore detector. Its brilliantly immersive when hunting down ores in space, and certainly much better then flying in circles.

@Romulous @BrunoDRJ Did you make sure to enable the mod and dependency for your save file?
