Mineable Dwarf Planets - LEGACY

Legacy version for Cosmoteer 0.30.0 and earlier. This mod is provided as is and won't work with the current version of Cosmoteer. If you're looking for the live version of this mod, you can find it here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2893554386

Adds a mineable dwarf planet to each system.

Essentially a gigantic asteroid containing custom resource nodes dropping mostly Iron AND Copper, but often also some Tritanium, Carbon, Uranium and Gold, it requires considerable effort to mine down if only due to the sheer size of the dwarf planet compared to standard-sized asteroids.

It spawns in a somewhat similar way that other rare asteroids are spawned in so finding it goes in a similar fashion. Once you approach a dwarf planet close enough, a question mark will appear just like with any other discoverable asteroid so you can get to its exact location. (Unfortunately it is currently impossible to add customized exploration missions to the game, so this is the best I can do for now)

I've set it to spawn somewhat outside of the asteroid belt, a bit out of the way of where most of the default stuff is happening. I aimed to find a balance between the asteroid's massive size and keeping the graphics nice along with optimizing its core gameplay features. Default asteroids are not affected in any way.

Mining the dwarf planet can offer a new, challenging and profitable mining experience :). Or if you want you can perhaps just go dig a hole in it and build a space station inside of the dwarf planet. Or go dig a larger hole and put 10 space stations inside the dwarf planet if you want to. Download the mod, find the dwarf planet and go wild :P
