Investigate far away asteroids using radio spectrometry to get an idea about their composition before you actually travel to it. This is an LCD script, select it from the scripts list for any LCD Panel.

Point your ore detector directly at a distant asteroid to get a readout. Access the readouts by loading the Radio Spectrometry Reader script in any block with an LCD.

There needs to be a spike in the graph at each of the 3 points of an ore for that ore to be present in the asteroid.

Does not work on planets.

Ore Detector must be unobstructed and have a clear line of sight to the asteroid. It also must be on the same grid as the LCD.

Server friendly (code only runs on client). Mod must be included in the mod list on the server for clients to use it.

Modding

Modders can manually define the resolution of the block by inserting the following XML into their definition. If undefined the script will simply take the Max range as the resolution.

          <Decimal Name="Resolution" Value="150" /> <!-- bigger is less noise -->
