The tablet with an ore detecting chip can tell you readily if there's anything to mine in the vicinity. Doesn't need that ground penetrating radar "keg" along for the ride anymore. I made a second tablet and the card in my current Mars game, and now that takes the 2nd tool slot in the mining belt. The basic chip doesn't tell you what is there, only that there is something nearby.
