The probability is returned in ‰, parts-per-thousand, for each ore type. Density Search mode is useful in telling players what ores to expect to find within a given area, but does not tell players exactly where the ore may be, nor its potential size or quality. | ||

Density Search mode tells players the probability of finding ores, while Node Search mode tells players | Density Search mode tells players the probability of finding ores, while Node Search mode tells players how much ore is detected nearby. Additionally, Density Search mode will not tell the player about the presence of certain ores such as {{ll|gold|gold}} or {{ll|silver|silver}}, that are found within deposits of other minerals. Node Search mode ''does'' inform players about child ore deposits. | ||

The head developer settled a debate in 2023 about density readings. To the [https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/302152934249070593/1149631346973626408 question] "Are prospecting reading in density mode chunk-based, or position-based?" Tyron [https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/302152934249070593/1149647958464274543 responded] "They are position based. thats why i don't want to represent them in the same way as prospector info". The mod Prospector Info displays density-reading results on the map in squares aligned with chunk borders, and many video tutorials have perpetuated the misconception that prospecting results are chunk-based. | |||
