If you play on a Linux machine (like I do) there is a known bug where the tiles turn pink and opaque (instead of green and see through). Put the drill on the green tiles you want to mine. I searched the definitions files some more, looked in WorkGivers and a few other places to see if the scanning job has restrictions. Small ones are rare resources, larger ones are common i.e steel. I went back into the same file, and deleted the second line under : PlaceWorker_PreventInteractionSpotOverlap. If I had that same pawn right-click the scanner that WAS under a roof, I got nothing. I built a scanner outdoors a few tiles away for testing I selected a pawn, had him right-click the outdoors scanner, and I got "prioritize scanning at ground-penetrating scanner". Previously, once the Ground Penetrating Scanner was setup, all underground resources were shown, represented by transparent green squares on the map when the scanner was highlighted. Inspired by Rimworld's ground-penetrating scanner, use enhanced radars, and eventually satellite coverage, to uncover hidden ore patches that require both fracking and special refining to process, giving you either infinite copper or iron (with traces of coal). This will allow players to identify large underground nodes of plasteel, which can then be extracted using a deep drill. Yet Another Infinite Ore Mechanic deprecated. plasteel, uranium, jade, and once I got a great. I've gotten 1000 or more of specific things out of the ground scanner. Gives RimWorld a Natural Feel CR Moddable: make RimWorld more moddable. Clicking the scanner reveals all deposits (cells highlighted yellow) on the map. The ground penetrating scanner can find a lot of really rich deposits. These deposits are discovered by constructing a ground-penetrating scanner and connecting it to power.
#RIMWORLD GROUND PENETRATING SCANNER UPDATE#
The Ground Penetrating Scanner got a major adjustment in update 1.1 that was released on February 6th, 2020. For a more reliable method, players will need to advance far enough along the RimWorld technology tree to unlock Deep Drill and Ground-Penetrating Scanner. The long range scanner you have to travel somewhere else, possibly fight off hostiles, and what you get is minimal. I deleted that line, saved the file, reloaded RimWorld-and, success! I was able to BUILD the scanner indoors.Įxcept, my pawns couldn't USE the scanner if there was a roof over it. Posted by u/xenoxaos on r/RimWorld on 2/28/20. The scanner would not build under a roof.įurther down, there's the tag. So, naturally, the first thing I tried was changing that to true. So I opened Buildings_Misc.xml and went into the section for the ground-penetrating scanner. You don't have to bother with rng of gps or the hassle of making your own components super slowly. I think you get around 50 components per chunk this way. Because I'm comfortable messing around with stuff that might make my computer explode. Then boom you get a quest to go and mine a great big chunk of the stuff.
#RIMWORLD GROUND PENETRATING SCANNER HOW TO#
I'm not making a mod to do the thing in the title, I'm editing the definitions files under Data / Core / Defs / ThingDefs_Buildings.
