</>What does Ore Sense (See Through Rock) do?
Core Keeper already lets you sense nearby ore, but the range is short enough that finding a decent vein still means guessing and digging. Ore Sense stretches that range dramatically. Turn it on and ore lights up through solid rock from far across the biome, so you can pick a direction with confidence instead of carving hopeful corridors and hoping something turns up. The range is a dial, so you can keep it modest if you still want some of the search, or push it right out when you're hunting one specific metal. It turns a mining trip into something you can actually plan. Pair it with Diamond Pick to get there quickly and Motherlode to make the vein worth the walk.

</>Common questions about Ore Sense (See Through Rock)
What does Ore Sense do in Core Keeper?
Ore Sense makes ore light up through solid rock from much further away in Core Keeper. The game already lets you sense nearby ore, but the range is short enough that finding a decent vein still means guessing and digging. Ore Sense stretches that range dramatically, so you can pick a direction with confidence instead of carving hopeful corridors and hoping something turns up. It turns a mining trip into something you can actually plan.
How far can I set Ore Sense's range?
The Sense Range slider decides how far away ore lights up through rock, from something close to Core Keeper's normal short range right out to across-the-biome distances. Keep it modest if you still want some of the search — knowing roughly where to head while leaving the last stretch to exploration. Push it right out when you're hunting one specific metal and would rather not spend the evening finding out where it isn't.
Does Ore Sense show ore through solid walls?
That's the whole idea. Ore Sense highlights ore through solid rock in Core Keeper, so you can see what's on the far side of a wall you haven't touched yet and choose whether it's worth digging toward. It doesn't move anything or mine for you — it just removes the guesswork about direction. Pair it with Diamond Pick if you want the digging itself to keep up with how quickly you can now pick a target.
Can I keep some of the searching instead of seeing everything?
Yes, and that's exactly what the Sense Range dial is for. Set it low and Ore Sense in Core Keeper just extends your natural instinct a little, so you still explore and still get the satisfaction of finding a vein yourself. Set it high and the biome basically shows you its metal. The Ore Sense master switch flips the whole thing off in one press when you want a run with no help at all.
Which Core Keeper mods pair well with Ore Sense?
Diamond Pick and Motherlode are the natural companions. Ore Sense picks the direction, Diamond Pick gets you there quickly through the rock, and Motherlode makes the vein pay out enough to justify the trip. Cave Sprinter fits in too if the biome you're sweeping is large and the walk is the slow part. Together they turn Core Keeper mining from guesswork into a planned run with a known destination.

System Requirements
What features does Ore Sense (See Through Rock) include?
- Lights up ore through solid rock from far across the biome, well past the game's own short range
- Puts the range on a dial, so you can keep some of the search or push it right out
- Turns a mining trip into something you can plan instead of a hopeful corridor into the dark
- Works the moment you flip it on, and you can nudge the range while you're stood in the tunnel
Best For
- Hunting one specific metal for a recipe rather than sweeping a whole biome on the off-chance
- Scouting a new area to work out whether it's worth setting up an outpost nearby
- Players who love mining but not the guessing, and want every tunnel to land on something
- Pairing with Diamond Pick so you get to the vein as fast as you spotted it
- Streamers who'd rather not fill ten minutes of dead air digging corridors that turn up nothing
