Gen's Blocks V2 - (WIP) - Survival Major

Description
This is the next version of my Blocks Mod. It differs in significant ways from the original.
You should consider this a HARD mode start.

How to use:
1. Add this mod by itself without any of my other mods except as noted at the end of this description.
*all other necessary mods are controlled via mod dependency.*
2. Do not add or use my previous Materials/Components/Planet mods.Remove them If they are added. If you have another mod that uses any of them as a dependency, remove those as well.

Gameplay and Progression (Barely started):
Refineries:
Tier 1: Small Ship Survival Kit: Replaces the Emergency Refinery from previous mod...
Tier 2 Large Grid Survival Kit: Yields more element types at a better stone to Ingot ratio.
Tier 3: Small Refineries: Yields more element types at a better stone to Ingot ratio.
Tier 4: Large Refineries: Yields more element types at a better stone to Ingot ratio.
Tier 5: Giant Refineries: Yields more element types at a better stone to Ingot ratio.

Note: Tier 4-5 Refineries will have LOWER output until you add Yield Modules. Max output can only be achieved with 12 Yield Modules on the Tier 5 Refineries

Assemblers:
Tier 1: Small Ship Survival Kit: Replaces the Emergency Assembler from previous mod...
Essential Tools
Tier 2 Large Grid Survival Kit: Slightly better speed, different power requirements, storage,
Basic Tools.
Tier 3 Basic Assembler: Slightly better speed, different power requirements, storage,
Advanced Tools.
Tier 4 Large Assembler: Slightly better speed, different power requirements, storage,
Elite Tools.

Getting Started(Essential Info):
Initially, on planets you will spawn in a small lander or rover.
In space, for now it is a Large Ship.
None of the (Vanilla) Respawn, Encounter, or Pirate ships have a Hydrogen Evaporator.
This is the first thing you should try to build.
Next work on a Large Survival Kit, it will process Ore and give you elements that the small ship one does not.
From there each of the next 3 refinery types will give you less stone, more ingots, and more elements.
Space Stone is different from Asteroid Rock and yields different elements starting with Large S-Kits.

If you've used my older Blocks Mod, a lot of the advanced assemblers are removed mostly because they are not moddable in a way that changes anything other than Power requirements and assembly speed. They may be added back in the future depending on how continued updates happen.

Incompatible mods:
Gen's Blocks Mod V1
Gen's Materials and Components
Gen's Planet extensions for Mterials and components.
Any mod that uses any of the above as a dependency.
The Small Ship Mega Mod Pack by SEModder4 mostly works, but has to be loaded before this mod because his components size changes conflict with my dependencies. Unfortunately there is no telling which mods will load first due to .187 updates...

KNOWN ISSUES:
Issues related to Voxels, Ore, Ingots, and Planets will be listed in that Mod.
Issues Related to Components will be listed with that mod.
Most ships will spawn with Ice in the Oxygen Evaporator inventory, move it to the Survival Kit/Refinery to get O2/H2 production going.
Captured Refineries may not work as expected, they will need to be ground down and re-placed to get them to process non-vanilla Ore and give the proper bonuses and new elements.

What's Next?:
Documentation and bug fixing. After that, an addon script that completely replaces the Progression Mechanic. Information can be found about what that entails on the keen feedback site[support.keenswh.com]

Add-ons for this mod:
Adds Progression for this mod
Adds Stargate mod Materials to refineries

World will not load with this mod anymore.

i'm not sure if someone has already covered this, if so, sorry about the redundancy. Upon doing some experimentation , the mod disallows the "Industrial Assembler" to add "Heavy Armor Blocks" to the production Queue(Different Components than vanilla). I also played with the mod order with the SE Modder's "Mega Mod Pack" and found no observable difference. I read that you have some RL stuff going on and I regret that for you. Thanks and best wishes to you and yours.

Hats off to you, Geneticus! This is precisely what I've always wanted from space engineers, I cannot properly express my joy at finding this, the greatest of mods. Can't thank you enough for making this the game it was meant to be!

part two

If i load these two with the other mods, the G menu memory spike happens, without these two the memory raises some when the G menu us added, but not much.

Can you look into this and see if there is something that can me fixed? I really like these mods and was hoping to continue using them..

I just wanted to pass along the error i am seeing.

i ran into an issue when Keen updated yesterday. i had recently re added this mod and the progression mod back into the game. the game loads with these two in the mod list. runs about 5.4G if memory in use. but when the G menu is selected, the memory spikes and hits over 12G. then the game crashes.

I came back to this mod and the progression mod after seeing them mentioned in the Eden's Wrath and CCM/CMM mods. i use those all the time.

I am used to having to trouble shoot the mods whenever Keen changes things.. Its sad, but true..

So i started the basic mod troubleshooting. loaded a game with none to ensure things were fine. then started adding mods back in with each reload. I was mid way through that when i remembered these two were the last ones added. so i skipped to testing these.
