Game breaking issues with ore detection - hand drill and block
I really want to play this mod but so far I can't. I started fairly OK and managed to find most ores I needed on earth but then all ore detection just stopped, both blocks and the hand drill. Now I know this sounds like a HUD issue but I have used H to cycle the various modes (and unknown/hostile and GPS signals all work as you'd expect) and used O to switch broadcasts on and off. I am currently standing need to a silicon asteroid with my hand drill out and there is no ore signal. This also happens with the blocks. As an example I was just finding ores with my detector but those signals have now vanished too and despite driving around they won't come back. This has happened on two different worlds but vanilla (or any mods except this one) work fine.

Please god help, I really want to carry on with what I started and enjoy the depth this offers but for me it is just entirely broken. Any ideas? I do use other mods however none that affect ore/planet generation and even without those mods IO still doesn't work correctly.

I am now testing this on a vanilla world, no changes to settings at all, two mods loaded which are indy overhaul and the deep ores addon. In creative mode I have created a basic scanning array (Large grid, ore detector, antenna, battery and a couple of light armours to hold it together) placing this at my spawn location revealed nothing, I travelled 5km away and still nothing. I then placed the array and using admin tools spawned in an iron asteroid. Initially I did get the HUD indicator to show iron, I then disabled and re-enabled the detector (by turning the battery off then back on) and there is now no signal despite the array being powered and all settings (eg range etc...) the same. I am now inside the rock looking at iron less than 1m away with the basic hand drill selected and see no HUD indicator. I can drill (so the drill works, for what it's worth) but there is still no indicator.

Either the mod or using the ore detector block has broken all ore detection. Again, vanilla world, only the two relevant mods loaded, no changes to any settings anywhere.
