Iron Usage and more

Upgrades for Coal Mine, Iron Ore Mine, Oil Wells, Factory and Refinery adding small production bonus while consuming small amount of iron and other materials. Further bonus is added if the building is electrified in 5th Era with most significant boost to the goods production at the factory.

The reason for this mod is not only increasing production but mainly to have some meaningful use of the vanilla trucks carrying small volume of iron. In vanilla game, the iron is being utilised only in Toolworks and Steelworks, both of which require large amount of the ingots. Thus there was only a little or no use of the trucks carrying just a few ingots per load. This mod will allow player to utilise these trucks instead of having them just for a "truck collection".

Update:
New models for both Iron and Coal mine better fitting with the surrounding buildings
Adding electrification to all of them.

Version 2.0 update:
Game bug has been fixed, the upgrades can be in appropriate era without changing the vanilla upgrades now. That temporary vanilla change was removed from the mod.

Furthermore, one new upgrade has been added to this set - Steel Barrel Manufacturing Plant for the Refinery - utilizing steel and crude oil increases diesel barrel production and also adds goods production.

The availability of the extensions is:
For Coal Mine: Era 3
For Iron Mine: Era 3
For Factory: Era 3
For Oil Wells: Era 3
For Refinery: Era 4

Enjoy.
