Space Engineers Ore Detector

It is for this reason that an ore detector is always highly recommended for the initial identification process.

Use a ship or crane to lock onto the ore detector with landing gear and hold it in place grind down the advanced rotor main part not the head build a small grid advanced rotor on your rover grind down the rotor head on it fly or move the ore detector into position so the rotor head on it lines up with the rotor main part on your rover. Saving and reloading seems to have fixed the issue. This will put the name of the ore on the hud in approximately the center of the ore patch.

If you only see gold then it most likely has also silver just deeper. Just look for small patches they often contain gold and silver. The ore detector is a block in space engineers.

Small and large grid ore detectors need a buff say 50 more range to make them more useful in space when surveying large asteroids or when looking for deep ore veins on planets when driving around in a rover or skimming the surface in an aircraft. The ore detector on the small ship 50m range detects the ore the detector on the large ship 150m range does not detect the ore. This is the issue.

Unfortunately the detector is also a little too short ranged at only 150 m. It really needs to be 200 250 m. Azimuth ore detector space only 1x1x1 range.

Some times when powered down will need an ore to be mined to restart the ore detector. The hand drill has a small ore detector built in whereas a ship based ore detector has a larger detection radius. Now you basically need the detectors to find the ore in the first place.
