Mining, Gas Collector and Raw Scrap Converter Stations, SWI Edition

This is the Star Wars Interworlds version of my Mining Stations mod.
It is intended to be used with SWI v0.85 and higher: https://sites.google.com/view/swinterworlds/Home

Note: This is still a beta version. So far everything should work, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to test everything in every situation. If you find bugs, the output of Tibanna or Rhydonium is too big or too small or if you have anything else to report, please use on this page the discussion area.

==================================================

This mod adds mining stations for ore, silicon, ice and nividium, collector stations for methane, helium and hydrogen as well as converter stations for raw scrap.
Energy cells are needed to mine the minerals, gases and raw scrap, with one energy cell producing one mineral, gas or scrap.
To meet the high demand for energy cells, two modules for energy cell production are also offered.

The AI does not build these stations.
They are available as blueprints from the factions and can be built anywhere like normal stations / station modules. Therefore, they do not need resource deposits, asteroid fields, gas clouds or similar.

==================================================


There are large mining stations, which use a minimalised model of the headquarters with three different asteroids. They can be bought as blueprints from all races.
Currently the production cycle is 12 minutes, with up to 120k nividium, 600k ice and 2 mio ore or silicon produced per hour.
In addition, small mining stations are offered. These stations are cheaper, require a fortieth of the energy for production, but also produce only a fortieth: 3k nividium, 15k ice and 50k ore or silicon per hour


The Gas Collector Stations are available in normal and small versions from the Empire and from the other races.
They produce up to 125k helium, 200k methane and 75k hydrogen per hour, the small stations also a tenth each.


These stations exploit old shipwrecks and convert the raw scrap into general purpose scrap. They produce up to 22500 scrap per hour. They are also available from almost all races.


The large station produces 6 million energy cells per hour, the small one 600k.

==================================================


It is possible not only to buy station blueprints, but also to research them. This works just like the rest of the game's research. A lot of resources and a little bit of time are needed.
By default, the research of blueprints of the player race are available. So that the research menu does not overflow. This can be changed via the mod options in the extension options. This requires the SirNukes mod support API mod:

Also, there is now the option to get station blueprints for free via the same menu.

You think the building times are to long? Use the following mod additionally to reduce them to 60 seconds. Just download it and unzip it into the "extensions" folder.

If you want to add changes to the mod in general, you should use the following Dropbox download, because all data is already unpacked here and a possible mod update won't break your changes.

How and where to make changes for other production rates or the influence of the labour force are described in the readme and in the wares.xml.
