Sensible Fossils

Description
Tired of digging at what appears to be a t-rex skull, yet getting a measly amber for your work? So was I, and thus this mod was born.

This creates brand new treasure pools for fossils, and sets all the default fossils to use the new pools.

The small pool remains unchanged.
The humanoid fossils (see image) will always give a random upper, middle, or lower fossil respective to the image.
The large fossils have a bit of overlap since they have 5 parts. Per the image, they reward parts 1 or 2, 2/3/4, and 4 or 5 respsectively.

The end result is you can get a bit more specific in your fossil hunting. If you only need the upper parts of a large creature, you know to look for the t-rex head fossils. If you're lacking in humanoid torso fossils, you know to look for the vertical rib cage. And so on.

Compatibility: The original fossil pools are intact, so this shouldn't affect any other mods adversely if they need those loot pools for something else. The dirtyfossil1-8 objects are patched to change their fossilPool to my new loot pools.

A non-Steam version is available here:

Yeah this has absolutely no mod compatibility. Which is less than ideal.

Maybe I'll make a patch to add mod compat at some point

This is a fantastic mod if you're playing without mods that add fossils to the pool. Unfortunately, seele is right; I run both Frackin' Universe and Elithean Races, and none of the Elithean fossils have shown up despite a massive five-hour fossil raid on every nearby planet I could find.

I'm going to keep this installed, but if an Elithean patch could be made, I'd be most grateful -- I don't quite have the technical wherewithal to do so myself!

@Russel Starwind
mod works fine for me. if you have Weapon Stats installed with FU then uninstall it as it breaks FU's guns.

this mod seems to break FU guns for some reason...makes it static and non-working... any ideas?

does this still work with 1.4?

I have, for a very long time, thought that the game should have already had the very functionality that your mod adds to fossils...

On a related note, I also think that if you have more fossil brushes in your inventory, then running out of the needed tools should not end the mini-game, but have the option to either end the mini-game or consume another brush. I am already adding your mod to my subscribe list, but if someone were to add this additional functionality, they would forever be my hero in the Starbound universe.....
