Topic: Ore spawning under impassable terrain is not reachable to miners

Issue is: Ore spawning under impassable terrain where you cannot TF the terrain because of buildings close by.


There are several solutions:
First one is that ore should not spawn under impassable terrain, especially where you cannot TF the terrain because of buildings
Other way to solve this issue is to increase the mining lasers reach to 80-100 meters instead of 30
Another solution is to degrade and disappear the ore in a tile that has impassable terrain, no matter how much ore it is in the tile initially.

There might be other solutions too, but I think this needs to be addressed.

Also what happens if you place a building on top of a mining field ?

PS. This is gamma specific I think, I am not sure how ore is spawning on alpha-beta

Do range extenders work on mining modules?

+1 for increase mining laser range, easiest solution.

Yes, I think the same. Would also help with the fields under NPC spawns.

They do, but with 30m base range you hardly get even 100m fitting al lthe headslots with RE
