Ore Detector Unreliable

I have noticed after returning to the game recently that ore detectors no longer reliably detect ores out to their max range and seem really finicky when detecting ores in general.


I can fly all over an asteroid in a small ship with an ore detector set to max (50m) range and not find a single deposit. Sometimes it will not show any ore to be present even if I am literally staring at it right in front of the ship.

Other times the ore detector will show signals for ore deep inside the asteroid up to 90m away (with the small ship ore detector) but seem to ignore closer deposits.


When I found a large deposit of ice I had to fly to within 25m of the ice deposit to get it to show up. When I backed up to 35m the signal suddenly disappeared.

This issue seems to exist for the hand drill as well. I am running an un-modded single player game if that helps.

Seems like it could be. I did not test the issue on planets, only asteroids.
