Ore Detector not working since update last week
Solved
Like in the description it seems something is broken in my game. Before the update i had no issues detecting ore flying low ore even the ore close to my base was always shown when my ship was landet. Since the update i only detect ore at very close range no matter what kind of ship/vehicle using. Also checked the options/reload/hud and such. Even on known spots, there is no detection anymore. Savegame file is attached.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same bug
I have tried start a new game. There the detection is working as it should. Back to my save, i respawned to a planetary lander to be sure i have nothing wrong on my side. But even with the lander i am unable to detect ore. So it seems something is broken with my savegame...

So i loaded a mod wich gives me detectors with larger ranges. It detects ore in 600m distance from base, anything closer is not longer detectable... The question is now, how to rescue my savegame?

Confirmed on vanilla, both planetside and on asteroids. Was literally mining a large patch of asteroid iron that my detector refused to pick up.

I can confirm this. I've tested this in vanilla, both planet side and on asteroids in both a local game and on a dedicated server. It is making survival games extremely difficult.

Confirmed - Ore detectors on planets struggle to pick up the ice on a lake. Asteroid ore detectors only work if it is practically touching an exposed surface ore. Makes Survival incredibly difficult as Terry said.

I have a screen with additional information that might help to find the problem. The "iron" shows up when i am near another deposit (in front of the ship). The iron disapears if i move away from the nearest deposit. The deposit in front of the ship (nearest) is never shown.

I've also noticed that ore indicators disappear if you just rotate your ship/player around without moving the center of the grid. I'm assuming that something is triggering the "rediscover" in the ore detector but failing with the current generation voxels.
As I'm typing this, I'm curious. Does anyone have a save file from 6 months ago which they can test (specifically with voxel generator #2) to narrow this down to a voxel generator issue -vs- an ore detector bug.

Still a thing after a week its really hard to play without being able to find ore :P

Modded world, created after update, using Azimuth's space only overclocked ore detectors. Small grid, range set to 800m (out of max 2500m). It basically detects ores (sometimes, really sometimes) at 50-80m range, 280-250m range and once or twice deposits 3.5km away shown up.
Vanila small detectors work more reliably in the range of up to 30m. Large grid ones haven't seem them pick up anything, but didn't use them much.
Handheld drill doesn't pick up signals too. I drilled larger half of ~200k gold ore deposit besfore it shown up.
At this point I'm forced to eat up every asteroid piece by piece and digest et all, or I get nothing.
