The only changed items are the range and build component counts, all artwork etc is unchanged.

The 8x detector still exists so it wont break existing saves/blueprints, but I strongly recommend against its use. Keep in mind the range limitation of handdrill vs. Longer range Ore Detectors for both Large and Small grids are added, at 2x, 4x and 6x powers. Ores except platinum are either in those rocks laying about or below those darker patches. So just pick a random direction and go a minimum of 50km and start searching again. This will cause the game to spawn additional asteroids and this process usually results in the game spawning some with the ore that has not previously been spawned. You’ll need to move a minimum of 50km or even 100km and start you search again. You could add handheld drill and small grid ore detector range, since they are. Once you have searched a few asteroids in a local area (about a 10km area) and not found any there will probably be none on any other asteroid in that region due to the way the ore is spawned. r/spaceengineers u/AhCrapItsYou Clang Troubleshooter Nov 06 20. But with cobalt it is not insurmountable.

If this ore is nickel then your game will be almost impossible.

Some ore will be less plentiful and you’ll only find them on a few asteroids. Some ore will be plentiful and you’ll find them on many asteroids. Ore distribution is based upon a random seed for the map.
