I can't find ANY mine since "fix"
I change woo to 3% rod and nothing.
I use standard client , Ender and latikai. I follow pink arrow (inside of fork) till ti radically (at once) chance direction obviously point to other node
I run in rounds can't find anything.

I'm very disappointed in game. It feels that I'm wasting effort.
Is there any help from "Game Masters"?

Prospecting has been fixed in the recent days. Currently it may take 10-30 minutes of walking straight, on average, before finding any metal node.

You dont get it.
I 'm walking in rounds.
See?
#1 I follow arrow for 5-10 min
#2 Arrow all of a sadden make change about 90 degree
#3 I look around for mine near this point. Nothing
#4 goto #1

See?
Bugged. Not working.

Ok, first, take a deep breath, hold it.....exhale.

Finding a mine may not be quick and easy, but there are a couple things you can do to make it better. The arrow above you head will point you in the right direction once it "locks on" to a node, but it doesn't necessarily direct you exactly to it. Also, there may be more than one node in close proximity (an iron node and a water node, for example), but the wand/rod will only direct you toward one. For these reasons, you need to have a wide view of the terrain and watch for nodes to appear on the terrain and radar(Ender/Latikai Client only) as you get within visual (radar) distance. I think you will be most successful and satisfied if you choose an area where you would want to build a mine and begin your search there, then widening your search area until you find a node you want.

1. Use the Ender/Latikai Client

The benefit, in the case of prospecting, of these third party clients is that you get a resizable, zoom-able, and customizable mini-map.
If you choose to use these clients, you can take a look at the following for information on configuring the radar to show copper and iron ore nodes in range while prospecting.

2. If you are using the default client, zoom the camera as far out as possible so that you can see as much terrain as possible. Watch for ore nodes to appear on the terrain as you follow the wand/rod.

Don't give up! A mine of fortune awaits you

OK.
a deep breath, hold it..1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 15...exhale

Thx for responding.
#1 I do use latikai client in first place. I check prospecting with standard and ender just to make sure it is not a client problem (see OP)
#2 I know that arrow leads to proximity of node as I said in my second post " I look around for mine near this point" I'm also aware that nodes could be differnt type. Prior to fix I found all kind around

BTW I do have a problem with Latikai client.
Green arrow is not between red but actually 180 degree to red (useless to follow is any direction)
Arrow that show to bind point does not work at all

Ah, you are using the advanced settings for prospecting. I can't remember what it is called, but the last thing I read about it, it maybe had a few bugs. Maybe turn that off. I don't have direct experience with that feature, so I could be wrong.

BTW, I hope you understand that I added all that info just to cover all the bases. I didn't want to assume anything about your process

if you use Ender you could also try tossing out the old radar XML-dokument , from your salem files, and let Enderdownloader download the new file again.

I appreciate help and believe me I indeed follow links and check it out.
I tried with advance options and without
I actually clear from radar herb and food to see nodes clearly.
Without advance options I make teen steps and wait for arrow about 15-20 sec.
No luck. Its does not work

Also. Where did all lime fields go? Does it has any specific colors?
All white field I have seen on VERY LONG journey are stones. Is there a way to see what kind of field is it without digging?

I don't have any more suggestions for prospecting except that you don't need to wait for the arrow. If you just keep walking the arrow will eventually point in the direction of a node as you get closer to one.

Regarding lime and stone quarries, the Lime quarry will be solid white on the mini-map, while the stone quarry is a medium gray. Similarly, on the terrain, lime pits are mostly white with a light beige/tan ripple texture, while the stone quarries are sort of white with significant amounts of darker crosshatch texture.

I fond mine.... finally
It far from my settlement. No water or lime so I have to just drop all item I accumulate for a week or so....
ty for help.
Is there any req to mine lime? I sow a lot of pure white but dig only stone (clay are beige)
