[BUG] Mining System range hardcoded to 500?

[Treexter]

So, I was wandering around in scripts folder, looking for clues for some stuff i want to do and i found that in

Avorion\data\scripts\systems\miningsystem.lua

 

function getBonuses(seed, rarity)
<...>
    local range = 200 -- base value
    -- add flat range based on rarity
    range = range + (rarity.value + 1) * 40 -- add 0 (worst rarity) to +240 (best rarity)
    -- add randomized range, span is based on rarity
    range = range + math.random() * ((rarity.value + 1) * 20) -- add random value between 0 (worst rarity) and 120 (best rarity)
<...>

function onPreRenderHud()
<...>
local sphere = Sphere(shipPos, 500)
local nearby = {Sector():getEntitiesByLocation(sphere)}
<...>

So it seems that variable "range" is only used for tooltips and price values, while actual range is always hardcoded to be 500.

 

Update:

Yep, tested it with 2 different ranges systems. Both highlight radius are the same and ~ 5 km (500 value)
