Ω Mineable Sundiver Megaroids – Expansion for SirCampalots Extended Tech Tree Mod.
Expansion for SirCampalots Extended Tech Tree Mod.
.
Replaces all default (mostly empty) asteroids that are within the sundamage area with mostly large asteroids containing iron, copper and at least one rare resource (which includes silver or letalium). These asteroids contain no worthless empty rock whatsoever, making them much more profitable to mine compared to the default sundiver asteroids which are mostly empty rock.
This mod does aim to provide a good mix of larger and smaller asteroids with more of the rarer resources compared to the asteroids found outside the sundamage zone.
On top of providing way more resources than the default sundamage asteroids, this mod also slightly increases the total amount of sundamage asteroids that will spawn. Also, the area in which these asteroids will spawn has been slightly enlarged, so some of these sundiver asteroids may spawn closer to the edge of the sundamage boundary.

Don’t try to fly into the sundamage area unprepared, you will fry into a crisp in no time. You can however use the resource collector to collect resource nuggets that are located within the sundamage zone (since the 0.23.0 crew construction update).
.
The asteroids in this mod are based on the Mineable Megaroid – Cheating Edition asteroids and many of these asteroids are edited to contain some silver (and a few will contain some letalium, but not as much as silver), but I don’t consider this mod a cheat because of the larger investment and effort required to be able to mine these asteroids. You can’t just park an unprepared mining ship next to these asteroids and start mining its minerals because the sun damage will damage all unprotected ships and kill any crew that ventures outside. Expensive specialist equipment and a good ship design are needed to harvest these asteroids from the deadly sundamage area before you can mine them, so I think the reward should also be better :).
This is NOT a standalone mod. It needs Extended Tech Tree Mod to function properly. Extended Tech Tree Mod can be gotten from here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2946411143

This mod is fully compatible with my other asteroid mods, except the mod No Asteroids (for obvious reasons). The game won’t crash if you use No Asteroids, but none of the sundamage zone asteroids will spawn with No Asteroids enabled. I suggest you use Less Dense Asteroids instead if you want to dilute the amount of asteroids.
This mod was actually suggested to me by someone who wanted a version of Mineable Sundamage Megaroids, but for Extended Tech Tree Mod, so here you go o/
