"Use the Propick?"
"How do I use the prospecting pick to find ores?"
Good question! Let's take a look at prospecting the Vintage Story Way.
In depth look at the Prospecting pick and how to read the information it provides.
Vintage Story 1.15.2
Mod Used:
"VSProspectorinfo" by Capsup for recording Chunk Ore probabilities
This is the first Mod I wait for before I update the game version.

Hey, thank you, I've been waiting for a long time for someone to explain a propick in a way that can be understood 👍
Thank you for watching and for commenting.
Thank you for explaining it! I searched many guides about prospecing but yours are the easiest to undestand!!
Glad you enjoyed and it helped, I have an updated Prospecting Guide that you should check out

Nice visualization of the node search mode :)
Unfortunately, with the density search mode, you fell prey to a common misconception: thinking it works with the chunk grid. This is not the case. Chunks do not matter in any way, shape, or form for any function of the prospecting pick (be it density or node search). Yes, even VSProspectorInfo, despite being a great mod overall, gets this wrong. Instead, the results you get are unique for each individual block you prospect on the x and z coordinates. The y-level (height in the world) doesn't matter.
You can confirm this is the case by prospecting blocks in a straight line. Break the first block, take two nearby samples, get results. Break another block right next to the first one, take two nearby samples, get results. Rinse and repeat. You will discover that the readings change bit by bit as you move along the line, completely independent of the chunk grid.
Also, two extra tidbits:
- The numbers you get in density search mode are not percent. They are per-mille. But granted, it's not so important... because I recommend ignoring them entirely and working solely with the abundance adjective. Mostly because that number doesn't mean what most players think it means. It honestly doesn't offer anything valuable, beyond letting you confirm the fact that results are on a per-block basis, not on a per-chunk basis ;)
- Commands that start with a forward slash are server commands, and often (but not always) require admin permissions. Ones that start with a dot are client commands and do not require admin permissions. Even in singleplayer, the game spins up a hidden local server for you. And you are always admin in singleplayer. But if you were playing on a server, for example, it would be impossible for you to activate node search mode if it wasn't already active. You would have to ask a server admin to do it for you (and by extension, for everyone).
Thank you for the advanced explanation of the process. I admire you for diving so deep into the process.
Thanks Streetwind, Your explanation cleared up an inconsistency that I had with the info and have drove me to ignore that info :)
Great job, explaining the prosecting pick!
Thank you
Thank you very much for your help and detailed description. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to your videos.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and for the sub.
realitively new player. i've been stressing in my current new world, trying to find iron exploring caves with no luck (plenty of copper though). decided to finely break down and figure out the pospecting pick. timely vid/tut, very clear on how to increasingly get closer to the target thx thx :)
Glad you found it useful. Welcome to the game.
Very helpful!
Just recently picked up Vintage Story and wasnt sure how to use the Pro Pick have watched a couple vids but out of the few yours was definitely one the best on the explanation so Thank You!
Thank you Chris and I hope you enjoy your time in our beautiful game.
thanks for the insight of the pro pick
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Nice and informal video, but maybe get to the point quicker next time. Just a little feedback.
Thank you for the feedback, it's appreciated.
thanks, this is so helpful!!
this was extremly help full! I search countless hours for tin without knowing how to use the propick thxx
Glad I could help and thanks for watching.
good info video! thanks!
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching
Thank you for this guide, just started playing the game with friends on a server.
Thanks for watching
Ultra High 26.98% copper, still can't find it :s
Keep at it you'll get there
Thanks for this, it is very clear and presented well. I will be keeping my eye out for more tutorials from you.
Thank you.
This is a VERY good explanation of how it works.
Thank you! This was a huge help.
You're welcome, thanks for watching
This is such a awesome help, been playing around with vintage story for 2 weeks now. creating some world been playing around.. getting annoyed.. started over getting annoyed etc. didn't make it much further then the bronze age. so the windmill is as far as i got. this helps ALOT, The wire Chunkcommandtip thingy most cause some things just kept changing. Now i understand why that happened. Gonna use your seed to play around a bit more, and check more on ya channel. probably some more useful stuff on there!
thanks again! ya got an extra subscriber!
Glad to have you, let me know about things you would like to see in future and I'll do a video on it.
May have been a change, but currently ProspectorInfo mod only shows an overlay when the propic is selected. Deselect the propic, and the overlay goes away.
That's interesting. I'll test that out in my next S2 video I record.
Amazing!! the pro pick is always confusing and this has helped me out a ton
Glad you found it useful
So does everyone just turn on Node search mode? Every tutorial I've seen has used it.
For sure. Without activating Node Search Mode then you really can't triangulate ore deposits in the world.
Still very useful.
Honestly I'm very torn on the Node Search mode. Extremely useful, but it's turn off by default not just on Wilderness, but regular survival too implying it's not the standard experience but a 'training-wheel-feature'.
So how much should I used it to maximize immersion.
In the end I went the RPG route. Disabled it by default, but as I progress in mining skill in the x skills mod I allow myself to slowly increase the radius as if my little Seraph adventurer is learning to prospect like a pro as I go
Thanks this is video is something greatly needed, I am pointing others to you
Thank you. Looking for more "How do I..." ideas so if there is something you want covered let me know.
i keep coming back to this. why? 4:23 .debug wireframe chunk
If you are asking why would you use it, it helps visualize where your chunk boundaries are in the world. It is not needed but I like it when using density search mode.
If your asking why you keep watching that section of the video, it's because my melodic yet monotone voice has mesmerized you completely.
really useful ty
My pleasure and thank you
using node search is so cheap tho ._.
That was an excellent explanation of the Protec. I learned a lot actually and I’ve been playing for a couple of years :-) thank you!
Anymore bears trying to spend the night at your place?
@@Shino_Gaming Thankfully no. I sprinkled some crushed up mothballs around my RV and got some security lights so I think the Bears are going to be trying to come in anymore. That and it’s getting too cold here for them not to be hibernating I would imagine :-)
Hey, great video! Any chance we could get a summed up version for the wiki (without the intro xp)?
Btw just to let you know, for people to actually use the seed they'd also need your worldbuild settings ;)
Thank you. Yes would be honored to share the video. I will upload and send you the link.

I'd wondered a bit on using just the /seed number and not getting a match. you've confirmed my suspicions that something else was needed (ie worldbuild settings) thx.
Good info thank you
Nice showing node search. Streetwind has covered the density issues. Thanks for putting in the time to show some of the details of this fantastic game. (good to hear the audio is fixed now)
Very well made
Thank you. Means alot coming from you.
