'''Prospector's Picks''' can be used to find [[ores|ore]] veins. To use a prospector's pick, right click on any block. They may only be made from ''''[[metals#Tool Metals|tool metal]]''''.

==Tips for Using a Prospector's Pick==
 
−
*The prospector's pick is best used to determine where ore isn't, which can be used to triangulate the location of ore. Using the prospector's pick is a logic puzzle based on elimination of possibilities.
 
−
*Digging where the prospector's pick returns the strongest reading is an exercise in frustration.
 
−
*It is typically a good idea to check multiple blocks when searching for ore in order to prevent false negatives from ruining your day.
 
−
*Some situations (scattered veins or different types of veins in the same area) make using the prospector's pick more difficult. You will need to find a method that works for you.

Obtaining

Metal Prospector's Pick

Metal Prospector's Picks can only be made from tool metals. They can be cast in ceramic molds, or worked on a metal anvil.

Casting

Main article: Casting

Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Bronze, and Copper Prospector's Picks can be cast using a Vessel or a Ceramic Mold instead of working on an anvil.

Prospector's Pick Heads can also be crafted by using ingots on an anvil with a hammer. This is the only option for higher tier metals that cannot be cast. The durability depends both on the metal used and the skill of the smith forging the tool.

Usage

Prospector's Picks are be used to find and identify Ores & Minerals. To use a prospector's pick, right click on any block to get a reading. Possible results are: Found nothing of interest. Found traces of, Found a small sample of, Found a medium sample of, Found a large sample of, Found a very large sample of, and Found.

  • The prospector's pick scans for ore in a 25x25x25 area centered on the targeted block.
  • The prospector's pick estimates the concentration of ore in an area.
  • The prospector's pick is not fully accurate, and will return false negatives frequently.
