[Dizzy] Simple Chains: Steel

Description
Updated for RW v1.5. As this is one of OwlChemist's few XML only mods, I'll maintain this one until The Owlie returns. Required a few fixes for v1.5 (sound errors) and it's good to go. I WISH OWLIE was back!

I changed "authorship" and PackadeID so that it is a separated mod and won't confuse modmanagers. I KNOW I'm no Owlchemist!

Oh and this mod doesn't require any coal mod addition, it's built in!

--

Original Description:

Compacted steel? In *my* mountain? I don't think so! Return to the basics of production chain antics with this iron to steel mod. Used in conjunction with Coal mod, your pawns will now have to work double hard to start building up their steel reserves. Steel is now a manufactured resourced created by combining coal and raw iron at the bloomery or the smithy. Work work work!

Fixed Coal: Vein mineable.
Fixed Iron: Now is airtight- in case you ever build a ship with... iron...

Steel: did you dig up the deep found steel? Was it actually steel? Still looking for how this happens.

Could you update Coal so that you can select "Mine Vein" so the entire vein can be mined like all other metals. (This was a feature that became part of the base game after Simple Chains was created. Someone had a fixed version at some point, but I think it's no longer being updated.)

Also, Steel still shows up as a target for mining with the long range scanner, would be great if it could be removed from the list with this mod.

Oh hey didn't think of that, Vanilla texture expanded works it all right.

Thanks, that actually did work, I had just forgotten to restart the game after making the switch.

Place that mod after this one. Should do that.

Could you update the mod so that if we have vanilla textures expanded, it uses the steel texture from that mod? (looks like a stack of 3 steel bars).

I loved this mod, but this steel texture is terrible, they look like blue gems or something.

I have not updated this for v1.6 yet, as I'm waiting to see how new ores all work. THis mod replaces steel in the land with iron/coal... and I've not tested that yet.

As to the new graphic. IDK.

So I tried the mod in 1.6 unstable beta, the sprite for the Steel looks different. Its blueish metal kind of thing that i think i saw it on the new DLC Odyssey preview images.

Also, as a less light-weight alternative there's Expanded Materials: Metals https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3333419387
