The Ore Scanner's primary function is to locate ore chunks in deposits as a result of Alpha 7.0.1, which introduced the new Mining system.
To use, the Player simply has to put it in their inventory. When using the Drill or the Survival Tool in drill mode, the ore chunks will be highlighted in blue if the player is over an ore deposit.
The Ore Scanner will show underground ore rocks within a range of about 20-30m while the handheld Drill is equipped. The Ore Scanner does not work with ore veins or when seated in a vessel.
