Better Stone - Rebalanced Asteroids

This modifies the asteroid ore definitions of the Better Stone mod.

Less common ores will be harder to find.
Ice is re-added.

Gold, Silver, Platinum and Uranium will spawn half as often as in Better Stone.
The other rates are roughly the same with Iron and Silicon beeing slightly higher.

The idea behind this is to encourage players to search ore on planets.
Uranium can be found on the Alien planet and small moons for example.

How I came to the used values:
I uploaded the asteroid definitions to Google Gemini and asked it to make the ratios more realistic.
It made some good suggestions but didn't take the components of the ore into account. So I made a spreadsheet and balanced those values further. The values are in the image gallery. "Original" refers to Better Stone.

Better Stone is required for this mod to work. This mod must be loaded after Better Stone. Place it on top in the in-game mod list.
