The [[OV Scanner]] (Ore Value Scanner) is the improved version of the [[OD Scanner]]. This device not only calculates how much ore there is in the scanned area, but outputs its value based on how valuable the ores are. The OV Scanner can also be inserted into a [[Miner]] to increase the Miner's mining area from 5x5 to 9x9.

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=
|A2=Glowstone Dust|B2=Advanced Circuit|C2=Glowstone Dust
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=OV Scanner
}}

== Usage ==

The OV Scanner is operated by activating it in a Hotbar slot and right clicking with it. The Scanner scans all blocks in a 9x9 square, with the player in the middle. It evaluates all the blocks below player's position. Every valuable resource block is then added to the total value of the area, based upon this chart:

{|class="wikitable"
|'''Resource'''
|'''Value'''
|-
|Coal Ore
|1
|-
|Copper Ore
|2
|-
|Tin Ore
|2
|-
|Gold Ore
|3
|-
|Redstone Ore
|3
|-
|Lapis Lazuli Ore
|3
|-
|Iron Ore
|4
|-
|Uranium Ore
|4
|-
|Diamond Ore
|5
|}

The values are summarized, and the total Ore Value in an area is then calculated according to the following formula:

'''ValueOfArea''' = 1000*'''TotalValue'''/'''TotalBlocksScanned''', where '''TotalValue''' is the sum of all the values for the detected resources, and '''TotalBlocksScanned''' is the total amount of blocks below the player. In this case, it is equal to 81x scan height. The result is rounded down to the nearest integer and output on player's screen.

== Recharging ==

{{Grid/Machine
|Type=MFE Transmitter
|Top=OV Scanner
}}

Every usage drains 250 [[EU]], and with the total storage of 10.000 EU, this means that the OV Scanner can be used 40 times before having to be recharged. It can only be recharged in an [[MFE Transmitter]], an [[MFS Unit]], or a [[Miner]]. Using the Miner to charge the OV Scanner allows charging without access to tier 2 and 3 EU storage devices. Note that the OV Scanner does not drain the player's [[BatPack]]!
