Monsters Drop Metal Bits

Vanilla caving can be extremely hit or miss in Vintage Story, sometimes you will encounter a small ruin, a little bit of ore, or nothing at all, but you will always encounter mobs.

Lets face it, Vanilla mob drops aren't too exciting the occasional flax fiber isn't too special. This mod aims at improving high tier mob drops a little.

Adds Copper, all bronze alloys, and hematite drops to deeper tier mobs, also affects mechanical monsters aswell (why don't they drop metal bits in vanilla?).

Side Note

Side note, I understand that there are mods that add extra drops to monsters, but these seem a little too overtuned and unfriendly to vanilla for my taste (drifters dropping fat and salt??). No offense intended.

This mod aims at only targeting monsters that very distinctly have metallic bits on them, and also makes the drops not as generous.
