Hi.
I've seen alot of questions regarding the distance between bombs or probes. So yesterday I started to think ( ).
Each tool has a significant difference when it comes to the depth - whatever depth means since it looks like it has no meaning at all.
Conclusion: No need to get a high-end finder when it comes to the depth.
Should be: Big depth - bigger deposits.
Well, anyway, the interesting thing is that the difference between the tools when it comes to range is very very small. I mean what kind of difference can 0.5 - 1 meter in range make? Beats me.
Conclusion: No need to get a high-end finder when it comes to the range.
Should be: Low end detectonator/finder - less range.
Range and Depth:
Conclusion: The range and depth are features not yet implemented.
Should be: Skilled miners should benefit from higher range and depth that should come with high-end gear.
It's only extractors/miners/drillers that actually make any sense at all.
Conclusion: High-end can pull more in less time.
Should be: The way it is.
Last but not least - what skill goes with what gear?
Lets start with the detectonators/finders.
a) I for one cant see any difference when it comes to skill gains using a tool with LFB YES or NO. The skill gains are Prospecting, Surveying, Perception, Geology.
b) The depth is not moving an inch even if any of the above skills move up fast. Would not be surprised if I am wrong here tho.
Extractors:
Using a tool with LFB YES or NO makes no difference when it comes to skill gains Mining, Drilling or Extraction.
So my conclusion is that we make assumptions regarding the tools that are far more complicated then it is. I think that the mining system is a fake when it comes to detectonators/finders. I have no proof at all from anyone, yet, that a highskilled miner can find more then a n00b due to the fact that they master a high-end gear.
