Survival Stone - Stone only refines to ingots in the Survival Kit

Description
Do you like stone as a resource early-game, but think it makes things a bit easy later on? Perhaps this is the solution to your dilemma. This mod adjusts the refineries so that they will no longer produce ingots from stone. Ingots from stone can only be produced in the Survival Kit.

You still get your stone for early game resources, however once you switch to using the basic refinery or the large refinery, you'll have to rely on actual ores for your ingots. No more infinitely extending drills getting endless amounts of iron, nickel and silicon. The refineries will still produce gravel from stone, those large reactors are still possible without using a bunch of medical components.

While tangentially inspired by other mods, this is was created from scratch.

---

v1.1 - Basic and Large refineries now produce gravel from stone, but no other ingots.
v1.2 - Survival kit now produces silicon from stone, like it should have been all along. Oops. Survival kit stone -> ingots recipe matches that of vanilla now. Not quite sure how I accidentally removed silicon in v1.1, but your computers are safe now.

@Genzzry, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1718299567&searchtext=stone+to+ingot this mod is doing exactly what you're asking. Stone only gives gravel in ANY refinery even SKs. I will warn you having tried doing the same thing QB's mod is better since you can actually start out as not getting ingots from stone in a SK is horrifically hard. You can also fine a ingot output balance which should from my experience work with either of these 2 mods.

@QBFreal I have been looking for a mod for a while that stops stone from giving ingots in any type of refinery.

This would mean I'd need to search for ore veins and refine those for the ingots (so Stone in any refinery, including survival kit, would only give gravel).

I hope that clarifies?

@Genzzry If I understand right, you're asking for this mod (Stone into gravel in the refinery), but where the Survival Kit only makes gravel?

I already have something that sort of does that. All mined voxels (except ice) drop stone, even ores. Refining stone yields gravel. You can refine ores that you've gotten from salvage, but you can't mine ores so it's quite rare to actually end up refining any ore. I use this one to keep myself from cheating at salvage games, without resorting to removing drills or refineries.

Ores only drop Stone which only refines to Gravel: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846024623

A little searching also turned up this mod (which I've not tested) that removes all refining/assembling from the Survival Kit.

SurvivalKit [Wasteland Server]

Will either of those work? Or did you really just want to a mod that only removes refining from the Survival Kit?

Would it be possible to create/release a version where the Survival Kit also doesn't give ingots?

Oh Sweet I've been looking for this exact kind of mod. I've been stuck with not being able to use stone in survival kits unless I went through the hassel of changing mods as I progressed. Thanks for the hard work man!

Thank god for you and this mod! i was upset they made gravel give useful ore as well cause it ruined all my survival worlds.
