Description


Current version: 1.0
Please refer to the changelog for patch notes.


This mod increases the size of ore depots on planets and moons but also moves them further down into the surface. It works with all planets, modded too, and with all vanilla ores. The goal is to encourage players to build proper mining outposts as resources in one location last longer.

AQD - A Quantum of Depth is a project of mine, encompassing multiple small and larger mods aimed at improving the gameplay experience and eventually overhauling larger parts of the game:





Deeper ore veins on all planets
All ore veins are moved deeper into the planets. How deep depends on the type of ore - "starter" ores like iron, silicon and nickel are located 50m below ground. Cobalt and magnesium can be found 100 and 200m below ground respectively. Silver and gold are located at 300m, platinum and uranium at 400m below ground. The size of the veins varies depending on the ore as well, generally becoming smaller, the more "rare" an ore is (but at minimum still larger than vanilla deposits).

  • This mod technically works with AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution, but as they both do similar things, they will overwrite each others settings.
  • I would recommend using either a mod increasing the ore detector range or the [VSI] Ore Deposit Scanner by Darkmist to make identifying the content of an ore spot easier.


  • Ghost722nd - Maker of the original Deep Ores mod.
  • Meridius_IX / Lucas - For writing the base script, with which the ore remapping is implemented.

does this work with "not so smooth voxels"?

Does this mod work with the Better Resources mod?

Does this mod affect the deposits on modded planets?

You can add it to an existing world but only voxels that have not been altered will be affected.

Can I add it to an existing world or do I need to create a new one for procedural stuff?
enenra  [author] 6 Mar @ 1:04am 
yes, the spots will appear on the surface

also for those who prefer a detector mod, i would recommend Vas's ore detector... really good for deep ores..

quick question, with the ores generally deeper, do you still get the tell, tell visual effect of ore from the surface.... ie color change in terrain.... did not see this posted....

It shouldn't break anything but they're not supposed to be used together since vanilla ore distribution already does what this mod does.
