Ores Rebalance

This mod rebalances the spawning mechanics of ores to encourage exploration, risk, and reward. OreRebalance significantly reduces the frequency of ore deposits but compensates by making them far larger when discovered. Each vein becomes a valuable, long-lasting resource, transforming mining into a strategic endeavor rather than a routine task.

Key Changes:

• Rarity vs. Richness: Ores now spawn less frequently but generate in massive clusters, ensuring that locating a vein feels impactful.

• Malachite

• Iron Ores

• Zinc & Titanium

• Chromite & Plenthedite

• Sulfur

• Graphite

Roadmap

• Balance all vanila ores and config source stones
• Add config. maybe
• Add geology additions compability

 

Changes

All the changes can be understood from the tables. Below the first table is an example of an analysis.

Chromite

<table> <thead> <tr> <th>Change</th> <th>Old value</th> <th>New value</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Attempts to generate on a chunk</td> <td>3</td> <td>0.0006</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Radius (avg)</td> <td>5</td> <td>55</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Radius (var)</td> <td>10</td> <td>10</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Thickness (avg)</td> <td>1</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Thickness (var)</td> <td>0</td> <td>3</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

On average, for every 1/0.0006= 1667 chunk, an attempt is made to generate a chromite vein with a radius (avg-var -- avg+var) of 45-65 blocks and a thickness of 1-7 blocks.
