As it happens, a quest in the expert line was added to dev a few days ago to help improve discovery.
As for what they do, however, I had hoped curiosity would be the driving factor. Since they're permanent trades in Amadron, they show up at the very top. Right along the Assembly Table programs and PCB Blueprint you must purchase for progression long before you can even craft the survey tools. The tooltips on the items say exactly what they're for:
That said, I'll see about adding some extra info to the tools themselves. I'm not sure to what degree that will help discoverability, however, as that still relies on the player accidentally noticing them in JEI. Checking uses there would also give an explicit list of what they're used for.
I like the idea of adding a free set of tools to the Prime Delivery quest, however. I think that's a good way to promote this.
Describe your suggestion
The Amadron Survey Tools item seems like a very cool way to trade for certain rare / annoying-to-get resources without needing to spend ages mining for them. However, I am fairly certain I don't speak just for myself when I say that I likely would never have discovered them if I hadn't been directly told of their existence by an Enigmatica 6 developer.
The existence of this item and its usefulness could be increased by doing any/all of the following, among other things:
Add a Tooltip (lore) line to the Amadron Survey Tools, describing their use to obtain a cache of other-dimensional resources. IIRC, this can be done with something like as follows:
In a KubeJS startup script (probably
minecraft\kubejs\startup_scripts\item_registry.js
, though some refactoring seems necessary to allow for this):event.create('amadron_survey_tools') /* etc. */ .tooltip(NBT.toTag('{"translate":"item.kubejs.amadron_survey_tools.tooltip","color":"aqua"}'));
And in the lang files (e.g.
minecraft\kubejs\assets\kubejs\lang\en_us.json
), a line like this:"item.kubejs.amadron_survey_tools.tooltip": "Used to trade for a variety of materials from other dimensions!",
Why would you like this added/changed?
[ Thanks to generikb for his input on this, and to Enigmatica 6 contributor theboo for pointing out the existence of the Amadron Survey Tools to the both of us! ]
