CAT - Refined Stone v1.6

Now compatible with Plant and Cook, Eat. Drink. Sleep. Repeat! and other mods that require getting organics from stone. You now must reprocess gravel to filter out organic particles, I feel this is a better mechanic that is easier to balance.

Refined Stone adds variation to stone types while keeping in tune with vanilla.
Instead of getting the same amount of resources from everything you now have a bit more diversity.
Stone is no longer processed in the large refinery.

This was originally intended as part of the Hard Mode Difficulty mod but I thought people would like a stand-alone version of this mod. Also see TOOM (ore map), made to work alongside Refined Stone.
Some planets are designed to be low on certain resources, this is to encourage you to find new ways to play when such items are in short supply.

Processing of ore in the survival kit and refinery may produce different yields for some stone types.

Stone names give a hint of their value at a glance and numbers can be calculated out to find approx. yield (based on survival kit processing), but there is some deviation.
Maths below:
Si .. X*0.2
Ni .. Y*0.2+0.2
Fe .. Z*3

CrackedSoil: Note cracked soil currently will produce very small trace amounts of cobalt ore - nothing game breaking, and will process slower than most.

All feedback welcome!

Known bugs / Compatibility differences:

- Organics lacks an in world texture. This doesn’t not hinder game play at all.
- Some scraps from AwwScrap may process in both refineries now rather than requiring the larger one. This is a minor thing and should not affect most play styles too much.
- [FIXED] Reactor component scrap not entering refinery (AwwScrap).

For mod manipulators

Tweaking of stone conversion is easy you only need to patch Blueprints.sbc and note some drop rates on Alien were altered to balance resource availability in VoxelMaterials_planetary.sbc

*Due to game being funky all asteroids currently contain the same type of stone in space. Simply changing it out prevents the asteroid from spawning for goodness knows what reason.
A long winded work around may be posable but this will come in a later patch.

Another way to look at it from my terrible notes..

Thank you to the keen discord for their continued help with my endless mod problems.

If you are simply someone wishing to modify this mod in a way you see fit, or use parts of it in your own mod, to play with your friends, or alone, or in a non-profitable way, go ahead!
I encourage mod makers of all levels to have fun and learn! The same goes for 0 profit servers that rely on donations to keep running.

The bottom line is keep it free and remember to link back to the original mod. =)

As a rule it’s far better to make a patch and link to the original mod as a dependency. Just re-uploading this mod is frowned upon and I reserve the right to ask for any related content to be removed at my discretion.

For clarity, a pay server may use this content and modify this content, but must make sure all versions of this content, modified or not, including patches for this content, are freely available to all users not just those on the pay server. The content must be available in a way that is not hidden behind a subscription, pay wall or additional sign up (for example discord) of any kind.
The steam workshop, is not considered an additional sign up as most users will likely be using this service already and it is where the original content was uploaded. Users must also be made aware that the mod content is freely available.

If there are any questions just ask.
Bottom line, its free content so let’s keep it that way.
Thank you.
