Is this Dowsing Rod useless?

[badmp3]

How high does Mining Purity go?

[Zerk]

How do I add this to my radar? Haven't played HnH and could use the help from the minimap.

It will find mines, Dyne. The nodes it detects are just rarer, so you'll probably have to travel a good distance before you find one. They can be kinda easy to miss, but adding

Code: Select all

 <marker match="gfx/terobjs/minepoint" tooltip="true" text="Paydirt" color="#000000" />

to your radar will have the nodes appear on it as a black dot while prospecting, if it's within render distance.

Ahh, good call on that. Hadn't thought to do that when prospecting. Thanks.

edit the radar file

[Zerk]

Yup, figured as much. Where is it located though?

Update:never mind, found it. Thx for the help.

[Zerk]

Excellence. Thanks again. Found myself a 34%er 4 minutes from my humble shack.

[Dyne]

Good news! I actually found a mine with the dowsing rods! Woooo!

Bad news, is that the radar edit didn't work for me. :[ I noticed my radar file had groups, am I supposed to group it with the other minerals or leave it outside of a code group?

[Devourer_of_Pancakes]

You probably need to put it in a group yeah. I doubt it matters which one.

For reference, here's the contents of my radar.xml file with the mine tracking edit in place (it's near the bottom, line 70).
