Just played three quick runs of the first hundred years with the new Treasure Hunter Origin and a ruler with the Treasure Hoarder trait and trying to figure out if my luck is bad or if I'm misunderstanding it.

I'm assuming it works the same as the Prospector veteran trait but since it's on the ruler it would apply to all surveying scientists. So I was expecting a very slightly above average space resource supply from my surveying (especially after getting it to rank 3 / +30%) but in my three tries so far my surveyed resources have been unusually anemic at best.

Putting this out there to see if other people are experiencing similar results or if I've just had a string of very bad luck with my tries with the new Origin/Trait. Can't tell on my own if my expectations were too high/luck was too bad.

I experienced the same but can't say it is just bad luck or imagin things. To be honest, I've no deep experience with how prospector trait works either because by the time I get my scientist to veteran levels, i choose a different specialisation because often there isn't much exploration left to do.

Therefore I'm not sure by how much deposits will be improved. Since we don't get notified when it triggers, we may not notice the increase because it is too small. If a system has 4 mineral deposits arround 2-5 size each, i won't notice an increase of 1 or 2.
Assuming it works as intended I had much bigger success with just taking Trailblazer for easy and quick exploration
