Ore Generator - Make ore from electricity!

Description
Hi All,

I made this as I was getting requests for an Ore Generator mod that could cater for all the different mods out there with custom ores, like Industrial Overhaul as an example.

This mod will automatically create a list of all the Ores in the game world dynamically on game load and spawn all the Ore types automatically in the blocks inventory, with no direct interaction required.

The automatic generation is based on the settings outlined below using nothing but electricity.

You can balance this however you like using the settings below.

The block has full build stages, LOD's & animation.

Settings & Log file is in the below folder: -
%AppData%\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<YourSteamID>\<YourSaveGameName>\ Storage\OreGenerator_OreGenerator\


Settings available: -
  • The amount of power required to create ore (5MW by default).
  • The amount of seconds between ore spawn cycles (10 seconds by default).
  • The amount of each ore that spawns (change the number before the comma, 10 for each ore by default).

What does the Yellow Emissive mean?
Not enough power on grid to power ore generators.

Attribution for Orb model in centre of block: -

Wishlist
  • Modify the code to allow for ores requiring power AND another resource to generate an ore, eg. everything requires power plus X amount of stone to make an ore.
  • Change settings file to terminal controls on the block itself.

OK, the file only appears if you run the game , load your save then go to the folder while the game is running. As soon as I close the game , the file is no longer there. Its weird. But I was finally able to modify the organic generation to be zero.

No, it seems random. but It doesn't bother me at all. I'm enjoying the mod fully. I couldn't find the file to modify it though . I followed the file path but the folder was empty.

@Luizhf2 - I honestly can't remember if I make them floats (0.00) or integers (whole numbers only), try it in the settings and see.

Hi @Tim,

I haven't modded Space Engineers for quite some time now. I think that orb thing has to do with parenting the subpart (which is how you attach things to a parent model) and how I linked it up in the code.

I saw that bug once and wasn't able to repeat it. Does it happen every time you convert from ship to a station then back again?
Tim 3 Oct @ 8:07am 
When I converted my ship to a station then back the orbs stayed floating in space separate from the ship :) But I really love the mod . Thank you.

When I open storage folder its not there, even though I already built it on my ship and created a new savegame

Can i use smaller values than 1? like 0.5 of uranium?
