Crystallography

This is Roton, ILoveWater, and stormytuna's submission for tModJam #0! With the theme of "A study of one", we chose Crystallography as the basis for our mod.

We're unable to fix any issues for the first week of release as per the tModJam rules, sorry!

To clarify on "making each gem a seperate item" I mean make it so each one has a unique sprite and item ID for each gem type, apologies if that was unclear wording.
Sopop, King Of Nothing 5 Jul @ 3:46pm 
There are a few glaring problems, unsure if the week-long timer has passed but the most notable problems are as follows (very early into playthrough do mind that):
Gems appear as vanilla gems and there are not seperate items in any search functions, perhaps make it so each gem is an unstackable item that gains a random value in each category upon obtainment, in the same light due to this problem storage mods such as Magic Storage (an addition most would use in their playthroughs) functions strangely in that it will not select the exact gem you are hovering, again would likely be fixed in a similar way (perhaps it's an item ID issue?)
Some small QoL or general suggestions:
instead of needing to open a menu for each gem you can place a gem onto the item to slot it in, and right click in inventory to unslot it.

This seems to be broken? Gems are all vanilla, and attempting to grab a gem from a cheat menu and using the gemball machine on that causes a ctd.

Seems cool, but doesn't work at all.

I have a little problem The mod works normally when first installed. After restarting the game the next day, the natural ores are still there but the drops are normal gems
