In-Game Text

"Now a miner, before he begins to mine the veins, must consider seven things, namely : the situation, the conditions, the water, the roads, the climate, the right of ownership, and the neighbours."

– Georgius Agricola, de Re Metallica

… but first of all the vein must be located. Prospecting allows you to search for suitable locations for conducting a mining operation.

Prospecting Devices

Equipping a Prospecting Device allows you to Prospect icon.png Prospect. Prospecting reveals the locations of Well Points and Ore Nodes which are hidden underground. When Prospecting a pink arrow will appear above your head which will spin randomly until you get close enough to a Node for it to lock on. Once it has locked on it will towards point the nearest Node's. Once you are close enough a Node will appear on the ground as a patch with brown, gray, or blue steaks running through it. Currently a Prospecting Device's Purity does NOT matter.
