[VisSE] [2019] Quantum Ore Compression - Mining With Style

Description
Hello Engineers

- Ingots are not compressed, just use any assembler! :)
- Compressed Ores are refined in any refinery
- It’s a mining only mod

How it Works

Just build a compressor on your mining ship and go mining.
That’s It...

Ores weigh a little bit 89.1K per 1200 inventory volume.

That is how i do it, with sorters ;)

Still works at the time of this post. Really cuts down on weight and volume allowing the player the mine the whole asteriod vein(s) in one trip.


Small caveat: I've noticed that if this block is linked to a conveyor system containing ice, the ice may also be compressed. To avoid this either toggle the block off before returning to your base, or use a conveyor sorter to blacklist ice so that the ice itself isn't compressed.

A generic sorter will be needed at the 'output' end of the compressor block as well to prevent ice from entering the compressor from the other side if both conveyor ports are used. Otherwise the ice has to go through a refinery before it can be used by a O2/H2 generator. Definitely a great mod though.

Don*t know if youre still active. But i started playing Space engineers again and found out that the mod is crushing the game i wanted to ask if the is any chance you fix that or if there are any other mods which do the same? (its no problem if not, just have to get used to the weight then^^)

Ganjavinchi - i would need to know how to somehow script that in, I dont know how to do that.
Zymm - I dont want to open the can of worms of adding mod mats for every possible request out there lol.
NotMat - Its to maintain usability with the vanilla gens and any other mods that use ice.

Can a change be made to make compressed ice usable in generators? The refining process seems like an unnecessary extra step.

How difficult would it be to add deuterium? Thanks

Is it possible to get an update to add an option whether or not to compress ice as well :)?

Nice idea :) That reminds me of Eve onlines Roarqual ;) compressed ore :D

yeah put the compressed ice through refineries to decompress - i finally found a way to compress and process ice back at base without causing much fuss with vanilla game or the hydrogen reactors mod.
