CAT - The Other Ore Map (TOOM) No AddMaps - v1.2

Splitting ores to different moons and planets providing a reason to travel the map and space adding to the survival and exploration elements of the game.
Also changes ores on asteroids and in meteors.

Includes resources for mod makers.

For a version with AddMaps click here.

This ore map could be seen as a mix between the Scarce Resources and Deeper Ores mods.

It is designed so you can choose how you play it, you do not need to dig deeper if you do not want.
However don’t expect it to be a walk in the park with masses of ore. I believe this has less ore than deeper ores when in the depths, and ore patches are few and far between much like Scarce Resources.

I recommend using TOOM alongside my Refined Stone mod (that modifies stone for early game), as they were made to work together to present more challenge. And both of these are part of my difficulty mods.

I wanted to give ores a more natural feel, with more variation in shape, depth and how they are laid out in the planets core.

How is the ore distributed?

I have mostly avoided putting ore under ice lakes and large flat areas.

Varied custom ore patches are made from about 5 channels so every large ore patch you find will have variation on the surface and in the depths. No random squiggles in paintbrush here!

All ores start with a surface patch and guide layer below, so you don’t waste your time digging down into nothingness if you go for the deeper ores. You will not need a longer ranged ore detector mod.

The surface patch thickness varies, I know some do not like a thin width of 1, so most ore patches you will find at least 20-40% of the area is thickness 2 or more. So hunt around if it drives you nuts!

Should you 'choose' to mine deeper, you will not just find a lump of ore at the bottom. Instead you will find ore in numerous layers and there is pattern variation for each ore type, as well as different patch patterns.
It’s as random and as natural as I can make it.

Please note that some ores do not appear on some planets/moons and space has very, very little as well, this is to give you reason to travel.

Surface:
The following are from version 1.0.
All values are approx.
Ore density = Bigger number - more likely to find any ore type.
Earth: Fe 37.6%, Ni 15.3%, Si 14.1%, Mg 18.8%, Cb 10.6%, Au 0%, Ag 0%, Pt 0%, U 0%, Ice 3.5%, Ore density 33
Alien: Fe 15.4%, Ni 15.4%, Si 15.4%, Mg 20.6%, Cb 11.6%, Au 0%, Ag 0%, Pt 17.7%, U 0%, Ice 3.9%, Ore density 32
Pertam: Fe 31.8%, Ni 6.3%, Si 14.1%, Mg 16.7%, Cb 6.3%, Au 12.5%, Ag 12.5%, Pt 0%, U 0%, Ice 0%, Ore density 75.
Triton: Fe 10.9%, Ni 17.4%, Si 8.3%, Mg 17.4%, Cb 13%, Au 0%, Ag 0%, Pt 0%, U 24.3%, Ice 8.7%, Ore density 41

Europa: Fe 15.6%, Ni 20.3%, Si 20.3%, Mg 0%, Cb 0%, Au 43.8%, Ag 0%, Pt 0%, U 0%, Ice 0%, Ore density 51
Titan: Fe 47.8%, Ni 5%, Si 0%, Mg 24.6%, Cb 8.4%, Au 11.7%, Ag 0%, Pt 0%, U 0%, Ice 2.5%, Ore density 83
Space: Fe Yes, Ni No, Si Yes, Mg No, Cb No, Au No, Ag Yes, Pt No, U No, Ice No
Meteors: Fe Yes, Ni Yes, Si Yes, Mg Yes, Cb Yes, Au No, Ag No, Pt No, U No, Ice Yes
Moon*One patch of gold with no deeper ore below. Hint: look around the poles.

Deeper ores depths?
So how deep? Where is the good stuff?
It’s not that simple! We have many layers to give a natural feel and experience!
And remember that, all ores start with a patch closer to the surface.
Fe: Some 260ish more at 500-750.
Ni: 450-500 with fluff in-between.
Si: 120-256 gets a good helping, 410 gets a chunk.
Mg: 400-600 nice amount, 900-950 a bigger chunk.
Cb: Taster at 450-475, goodies at 720-770.
Au-Gold: Looking shiny 955-970 trailing away beyond 1035.
Ag-Silver: Hits a sweet spot at both 670 and 700.
Pt: Wakes up at 1260 and falls asleep by 1320.
U: 1375-1422 and 1440-1455, some may also appear at 1200.

Positive or negative.
Suggestions, improvements, bug fixes!
If you don’t tell me about it I can’t work on it.
So let me know in the comments section below =3

Modifying the mod files:
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, also go ahead! 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 mods is frowned upon and I reserve the right to ask for any related content to be removed at my discretion.

Profitable use, "content" includes anything in the Mod Makers Resources folder.
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.
