Yes Tantal, but there is an unnecessary amount of thinking that goes into each prospect. First you have to imagine what 37 meters (an example prospecting range) might look like (which is already difficult -especially for NA players who do not use that unit of measurement, but additionally, translated into a video game, the scale could be anything), then you have to imagine 37m divided by 2 (so about 18), because 37m is only the diameter of the sphere, therefore, you are really only searching 18m in every direction. Then you have to imagine that the ore could be anywhere around you up, down, left, or right, or diagonal 18 meters out in any direction. It's very hard to visualize.
idea: We should be able to similarly zoom out like we do in construction mode to see the complete prospecting sphere around us.
