Ore Processing
This mod aims to make metals more difficult to obtain. Each vanilla metal (apart from components) has it’s own mineable which yields respective ore. Also, coal has been added, as it is absent from vanilla game.
To help tribal and naked runs get stone for their first smelter new stone blocks were added. Adobe blocks are made with hay on adobe crafting spot, after that they need to dry for a few days.
Coal can be used to fuel new coal generator, and smithy.
There are three tiers of smelting buildings, a primitive one, industrial smelter and rare-ore refinery. The first two smelt regular ores, the refinery is used to make plasteel and uranium.
Now mining nodes spawn on the map in simillar fashion to steam geysers. If you can secure them from raiders you will have steady supply of mining goodies forever.
