Phenomenal quality control on this mod.
I saw in a youtube video that I should set my keybind to Left Click, and the mod actually stopped me and sent me a message that Right Click would be better.
Probably saved me from mining the floor under me and falling to my death lmao

There is an option to disable tooltips in the player configs of the mod. This will globally disable all tooltips the mod adds to any items of any sort, denoted by the `OreExcavator.ClientConfig.showItemTooltips` variable.

Would also like a setting to disable tooltip on items..

Jinshushei Apr 4 @ 5:12pm 
how do you remove the tooltips for items that say "missing keybind?" it's visually annoying and i would never need a keybind for random items that have nothing to do with mining

yea, obviously just have it as a feature to what's already there if possible. idk how the coding would work but i thought it would be a fun way to make mining a little less boring but also keep that dopamine rush when you hit the random veinmine
CrazyContraption  [author] Apr 3 @ 8:32pm 
I actually really like that idea. We were also thinking of a required modifier system. Perhaps we can integrate both at the same time.
HoldMySeatBelt Apr 3 @ 4:24am 
I think a feature to have it so you dont have to hold down a button to auto mine, but rather a random percent chance to auto mine could be a nice in-between. just a suggestion
CoboCabana Apr 2 @ 9:08pm 
Does anyone know if I can configure this to always vein mine all ore but never normal blocks, but then have it also vein mine normal blocks when I hold the modifier key? I tried a few configurations but I couldnt get it right

@Fichek
As far as I'm aware this mod doesn't blacklist items from being used in crafting - I think you might have a mod compatibility issue
Fichek Mar 11 @ 6:41pm 
The mod blacklists iron bars and you can't use them in crafting. Instead of being QoL it made me waste a few hours with no result and I just gave up on it. Best to play without it.:steamthumbsdown:

Hi, chain - platforms worked but after setting to default key stopped working, mining works, but chain platforms for boss arena no

How did you do the formatting for the follow & support buttons?
WhatTheForecast Mar 3 @ 3:39pm 
I take back what I said before, you CAN blockswap sand. You have to have both sand and the item you want to swap it with whitelisted, and blockswap the topmost sand block. This makes filling in large areas with tiles so much faster.
yuni_amaterasu Mar 2 @ 3:20pm 
i forgot how to keybind it
WhatTheForecast Feb 24 @ 12:11pm 
Sitting here, filling in blocks one by one to create artificial biomes, when I get a nice idea... "I can use sand, then blockswap it!" Great idea, doesn't work. Tried multiple blocks, just to be safe, and they do work with blockswapping... just not sand. Quite unfortunate, too. Would've made this project FAR faster.

i found a bug where it wont vein mine painted walls
CrazyContraption  [author] Feb 17 @ 5:35pm 
Painting, planting, mowing, platforms, ropes, rails, planters, walls and even hoiks if you know how ;)
ToxicPurple07 Feb 17 @ 4:27pm 
Learned today that this can do painting as well, actual peak fiction
CrazyContraption  [author] Feb 12 @ 10:17pm 
@Luxurypeasant please send my your logs. Either a drive link, pastebin, or a message in my Discord DMs will suffice. I've used the mod extensively without issue, specifically with hellstone running 200+ mods of which include Calamity and Throium without issue.
CrazyContraption  [author] Feb 12 @ 10:15pm 
This is a bug with tModloader, since the mod was released prior to the recent updates.

No changes have been made that break the mod, so the error usually goes away after the next time you reload your game, sometimes later. Honestly, it's random.
Pollux Feb 12 @ 8:54pm 
having issues loading the mod it says outdated but i just installed it off of the mod browser
Luxurypeasant Feb 11 @ 11:45pm 
constant crashing while trying to mine big veins of hellstone
CrazyContraption  [author] Feb 7 @ 9:23pm 
Add them to the blacklist. Terraria:Platforms - This should disable all types of platforms.
Hxllbxy992 Feb 7 @ 8:38pm 
One question, how can I prevent the platforms from being mined with the mod?
CrazyContraption  [author] Jan 27 @ 2:22am 
2 notes:
- The mod does not come with any wood block pre-enabled. You'd have to directly add it or disable the whitelist checks in your config first.
- In order to stop it from mining wood if it is, remove it from your whitelist if wood is there, and ensure the whitelist is enabled fully to prevent whitelisting everything.

I'd suggest just resetting your client config for OE back to default, and doing a full reload of your game.

If the issue persists, you likely are using an incompatible mod that is altering vanilla code that it should not be touching; that OE relies on.
goober☻ Jan 26 @ 7:17pm 
I love this mod, but why does it mine wood? I can't blacklist it or do anything to stop it. It's frustrating me, and I don't like it.
CrazyContraption  [author] Jan 24 @ 7:14pm 
This might actually be a bug with the mod. Normally it should follow the whitelist, but Grass is handled by unique logic. I'll double check to make sure it also checks whitelists. Sorry for the issue.

You can also use it with seed to chain-replant grass if it helps!
warwax Jan 24 @ 4:57pm 
i love this mod but why does it have to excavate grass? ive tried to unwhitelist it but doesn't do anything. any help?

i cant get it to work anyone know how to turn it on in settings

When excavating large amounts of wall, occasionally it creates "ghost walls" that remain in the world (apparently) *permanently.* Trying to overwrite them with other walls doesn't work, and even using a cheatsheet tile swab doesn't work.
PLMMJ Dec 1, 2024 @ 4:45pm 
oh ok
CrazyContraption  [author] Dec 1, 2024 @ 2:15pm 
Do not whitelist trees or torches, these items are handled differently in the game's code, and have been known to cause crashes in older versions. For now, they should do nothing to trees, and work expected with torches.
PLMMJ Nov 30, 2024 @ 8:05pm 
Hey all - the mod doesn't work with the Axe of Regrowth if you whitelist trees, even if you chop the bottom block.
drakobloxxer Nov 30, 2024 @ 12:26pm 
oh, thanks for letting me know!
drakobloxxer Nov 29, 2024 @ 8:05pm 
No matter what I do, even If I do it 999 the chain placement doesnt change, what do I do?
PUIOJBASDFV[UIASDBFB Nov 23, 2024 @ 10:34am 
error with downloading, tried restarting and unsubscribing resubscribing still doesn't let me download i just wanna mine :(
CrazyContraption  [author] Nov 17, 2024 @ 1:01pm 
Stone by default is blacklisted to prevent abuse on servers - if you're playing singleplayer, you can tap the whitelist key while hovering over a stone tile to temporarily whitelist it for that play session.
To remove it forever, find the tile blacklist in the world config for the mod, and then remove "Terraria:Stone". Alternatively, you can remove the blacklist entirely.
Demon117 Nov 17, 2024 @ 11:52am 
It's not excavating Stone Blocks
CrazyContraption  [author] Nov 12, 2024 @ 11:39am 
The issues with mining and no items appearing and/or multiplayer desyncs was a result of an incompatibility with a handful of mods. These incompatibilities should be solved, and no action is required other than making sure your mods (like Quality of Terraria) are up to date.
Wolf zxcx Nov 10, 2024 @ 8:02pm 
i've seen people say that quality of terraria has fixed the issue conflicting with this mod but it still isn't working for me in multiplayer, does anyone know why?
HoneyBR546 Nov 10, 2024 @ 7:11pm 
There is an error with this mod on the current version of the game. For starters it is not updated to version 1.4.4.9. Secondly, an error occurs where you mine resources like dirt, stone, or ores. You dont get any of them. This fixes itself but it takes so much reloads.
CrazyContraption  [author] Nov 10, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
The devs were really nice about it, if you haven't already - chances are that if you like Ore Excavator, you'll also like Quality of Terraria. Go check them out folks! They deserve the attention.
