Important: Can every people who have a prospect grid here note the Area, so I can sort the grids, as it seems not to have the same pattern depending on area.

Limestone Blocks Prospecting

See [1] for discution about limetooth

Almost Sure Facts:

*Number of taps before break is the same in a SW-NE line.
*Rods never break at 9th tap, if you pass 8 then you are sure to get the bloc.

Possible deductions:

*Lots of blocks are on 1 tap lines, I found my bottom left block with 2 rods, finishing the 1 tap line it's on, however the long 1 tap line on the upper right gave nothing.
*Lots of blocks pairs are aligned in a +5/+3 or +4/+1 schema.

Numbers are numbers of taps befiore rod break (8 means it broke on 8th tap), a X indicates a Block, - is not sand.

I tapped the Z one 8 times and accidentaly removed the rod, I then retried and it broke at 6 twice. I now am sure I lost a bloc there as rods never break on 9th tap.

My theory on this pattern's evolution:

• Wiped this part, it doesn't seem to be a good way of research. - Roen

already had some blocks from before bug so they dont feature on this. i was able to use (0,1) and (2,0) to great success at finding blocks

• Hmm, did you really get 23 blocs on a 6*7 grid ?

- Fixed, was using X to denote where I hadn't dug on a different page.

• Wow if this is after bug correction, then the new pattern is great, 7 blocs for 37 rods, I should have half of a Deep Ocean with the 380 rods I tapped during bug. (going to /chat Gentry as soon as I'm back home :p)
