TBH - Compressed Ores

Adds ore compression for increased cargo storage!

Description

Are you tired of taking too many trips on your mining expeditions? Tired of your mining vessels consisting of dozens of cargo containers? Us too! Here at TBH Industries, we have developed a way to compress your ores down to size all while conserving their original mass! Using advanced engineering techniques, definitely not based on modern day trash compactors, the TBH Ore Compactor is your one stop solution! More Ore + Less Space = A Happy Miner!

Features

This mod adds 'Compressed Ore' versions of all ores including ice. It also includes the small/large grid block 'Ore Compactor', as well as a large grid block "Ore Mill" for converting the compressed ores back to their original form for increased mod compatibility.

Ore Compactor This block accepts ore as an input and produces Compressed Ore blocks. Dimensions: 5Lx2Wx3H Conveyor Ports:

• x3 Small Conveyors (One front, One on each side)
• x1 Large Conveyor (Back)

Ore Compactor Large This block accepts ore as an input and produces Compressed Ore blocks. Dimensions: 3Lx1Wx1H Conveyor Ports:

• x6 Conveyors (One on the back, five surrounding the front)

Compressed Ores Compressed ores are half the volume of their traditional counterparts and twice the weight. They will yield twice as much as regular ores when refined! Compressed ores cannot be refined in the basic refinery or the survival kit.

• Compressed Ice*
• Compressed Stone
• Compressed Iron
• Compressed Nickel
• Compressed Silicon
• Compressed Cobalt
• Compressed Magnesium
• Compressed Silver
• Compressed Gold
• Compressed Platinum
• Compressed Uranium
• *Due to how gas generation works, the compression ratio for ice is a 1:1 but halves the item's volume. Compressed ice has the same gas yield as regular ice, but compressing it will allow you to carry more per trip thus increasing overall yield.

Mod Compatibility

Ore Mill The Ore Mill is a large grid block that converts compressed ores back into their original counter parts. While this is NOT needed for the mod to function, compressed ores can be smelted directly in a refinery for double yield, this block aims to increase mod compatibility. If you are using another mod that alters the yield of vanilla ores, you can use this block to convert the compressed ores back to normal to allow the other mod to function. This does not guarantee mod compatibility. Although this mod is fairly safe, if you are using other mods that tweak with ores, make a separate save to test their compatibility with mine before using it on your dedicated server or main save file.

Officially Supported Mods

Below are the official supported mods that I have made 'Compatibility Editions' for. These mods either adjusted vanilla ore yield values and/or introduce new ores to the game. Links to the original mod workshop pages, as well as my compatibility editions, are listed below. Special instructions and what they add/change are listed in each edition's workshop page.
