Hey i was just recently wondering, if the finder range (not depth) has something to do with claim size. I started wondering about this when i saw that my md40 finders range is just 53,5m aand the f105 has 55m. and the item info states that it finds higher concentrated ores more easily due to its short range. that would also fit to the lower finder range and bigger claims on indoor mining. so maybe it doesnt work like an amped finder but has more to do with the lower search field.
like indoor is around 2,5 times smaller radius than outdoor resulting in a roughly 7,8 times smaller searched area (2,5 * 3,141). if the usual ore hit would be 2 ped outdoor then it would result in 15,7 indoor (not counting tax in atm). That would also mean that range enhancers do increae the chance of findings but would also decrease their size.
well, that were my recent thoughts about this... i just wonder if anyone had the idea / did tests to prove / disprove it.
p.s. i guess testing this would work best around atlantis archipelago as there is only oil and lyst... bigger value per stones like zinc or similar would make testing it hard due to rounding errors
