Streetwind Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 It looks great, but I worry about the gameplay effects. Finding limestone/chalk and finding bauxite will be made significantly more onerous and time-consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_fern Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 @Streetwind Dolostone in the current version can be ground into lime and used as a new pigment, my apologies for not mentioning that in my first post! Bauxite is primarily aluminum bearing irl, so for the sake of gameplay mudstone ( which can have a high Al content ) could be used as an imperfect substitute ( and I will be adding this ).

Stratateles Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I was actually about to ask why is Mudstone supposed to be a Bauxite substitute - thanks for clearing that up! Regarding that idea - since it would be an imperfect substitute, you could make it so that you would need 2x pulverized mudstone (or heck, even 4x pulverized mudstone) as a replacement for 1x pulverized bauxite in the refractory brick recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_fern Posted September 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 @StratatelesThanks for all your good suggestions both here and on the modDB page! My plan was to use 2x pulverized mudstone for 1x pulverized bauxite, or potentially requiring more per brick-tier. On that topic, I will be allowing olivine to generate in both basalt and gabbro in addition to peridotite so the increase in rock types doesn't affect gameplay too heavily.

genovefa Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Super cool idea... would love to use it right now if I was not so invested in my world. but SOON! Would personally love to be able to mine and polish jade for use in little statues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_fern Posted November 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 @genovefaI know it's been awhile, but I may or may not be adding Jade ( and several other decorative stones ) soon.... I'm hoping to have everything ready shortly after the release of 1.19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NukoSan Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Hi, thanks for updating to 1.19 is there a way to reduce flints spawnrate? It would be awesome to have the tool made out of stone being useful, as it is now flint is so plentiful that one never needs to use other type of stone. Just an idea to make all stone matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_fern Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 @Azuli-BluespotsIt has been updated to 1.19.3! my apologies for the slow response, I neglected to check the forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_fern Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 @NukoSanIt would be possible to do, although i'd have to look into how often it spawns a bit more. I generally rush out of the stone age lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastChime Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Really enjoying having this mod loaded, thanks for making it! Seems to get rid of the despair from spawning into a new world on granite for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomeaga Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Is there a balance pass on the ores planned? I've generated a number of worlds with default settings and am always finding opulent abundance of ores. For example near my camp are near a dozen surface chalcopyrite veins within 200 blocks. From a single one (which I haven't depleted), I've found 70+ ingots worth of ore. Maybe reduce the value of it's nuggets even more? It is currently 2.5 units/per nugget, it could be dropped down even more, making it something that's okay to start with, but you want to find better types of ore asap, then come back later with bombs if you really need more copper. Just a thought, could be applied to other ore types too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
