thank you. :)

Should work fine with existing saves. Just be warned you might have to look for a while to find it. I use the original version I made with just Uranium and some times can find lots of it, other times spend quite a while looking.

Will I need to start a new game or will this work with an existing save?

Yeah works fine, test with just this mod and azimuth overclocked ore detectors on the earthlike and found both ores. But any other mods that mess with vanilla planet or their ores might interfere with this mod and it can't affect modded worlds. Look for magnesium deposits, they seem to have the highest chance of have uranium and platinum.

Does this mod work with the newest update?

This is a must have mod for me. When I started the new game, no uranium is detected within scanner range. So, I have no way of knowing if there happens not to be any around me, or if the mod is simply broken.

I think it's ridiculous that they removed Uranium and Platinum from the planets.

There should be a way to let the game use the default files instead of bloating the mod.

Some errors were triggered by file paths having both / and \ :
SteamLibrary\workshop\content\<mod_ID>\Textures /models/environment/folder/texture_file.dds

I got those errors to go away but there are others that are being a challenge. They should work if 'texture.dds' is called and a 'texture_cm.dds' and 'texture_Alphamask.dds' exists. All of the files are there. Some error, some don't.
Buggy game. :P

I'll clear the errors if I can.

Go ahead, I'm just modding the base files anyways. Frankly I'm a amateur at modding SE so the only fix I know of is bloating the mod by coping the files from the base game.

This is a great mod. The game's reporting it has a lot of errors. I read your previous comment, Stardruid. If you're not into fixing it would you please approve permission for me to fix and republish it? I will of course credit you and link the original (here) in the description.
I don't intend to fix them all but I might. Just this one for now.

I'd like to keep this one going, without errors, if you'd allow me to.
I'm aware I can make my own. It would be the same thing even if it I did do it from scratch.
Credit where credit is due.

Thanks I have managed to do this Thank You..

Glad to see you found the mod causing issue. Unfortunately I don't play SE much these days so just maintain my current mods.
If you got the time thought it fairly simple to make your own version. All the files for this mod and the SE files are just text documents. If you get Notepad++ and it's comparison plugin you could compare my mod and the bushes ones. You'd just need then to copy the ore sections over for main planets and the 2 other newer planets over to the bushes files. While keeping each files official file name, save the modified files to a name folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods. It'll show up in SE in your mod list after that. It's more about time then difficulty really.

I have at last found the reason why it was not working for me, I had a mod called 'Bushes Be Gone' in there (it must use the same file as ore placement) after removing it I managed to find both 'Uranium' & 'Platinum' Thanks for the help, will just use 'Voxel Hands' to get rid of bushes, or maybe you can incorporate it into both your mods (just a thought). Thanks for the mod mate.

What other mods are you using? One might be causing issue since the mod works fine on it's own. All it does is change the ore area of the planets' files. Have you tired going in creative and adding a overpower ore detector to see if uranium shows that way?

I tried this mod again by putting it at the top tier of the mods table still nothing. I have no other mod that changes ore. I tried this because it seemed to work with you other mod.

First, is it the only mod that messes with ores? Any other ore modes will fight each other, meaning only 1 will work.

It works fine for me with only it and Azimuth Overclocked Ore Detectors. Though only found a few patches in the 5Km range of the detector and they where fairly deep, so a small ship ore detector might not find them. Even with the version of the mod that only adds uranium I've had times where I had a hell of a time find it.

Look for magnesium deposits, it tend to be mixed in with magnesium and silicon.

Tried this but does not seem to work I looked for hours and did not find any uranium or platinum. Am I doing something wrong

Ah ok thank you

No, any mod that modifies ores will conflict with each other. Their all modifying the same files.

Is this compatible with AQD Deeper Ores?

Because keen broke things a long time back and a modified core file won't load images from the base game anymore. This means sky boxes broke on the new worlds and game was throwing up a lot of errors. So I include the files, bloating the mod. Annoying but necessary. Still think there are few though.

why is this 64mb?

steamapps\workshop\content\244850\1843086849 on the drive the game is installed on. in my case it g:\games\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\1843086849. Need to have it subcribed so it'll download. The id for mods is always in the url, in this case ?id=1843086849

Hello, just want to ask where to find the code file for editing the mod
Cuz, i can't find it in any of the folder in my pc

Oh okay i see but for me i need to ask you permission so thanks :)

If you want to modify and upload your own version go ahead, I'm just modifying the base game files to reflect more like they were in the past. Not like I'm doing any novel or new that need to be protected.

I asked you in steam contact to talk to you about your mod and especially to ask for permission to repost could you add me

No, when it loads the save and the mods it should update the vanilla planets. But it only effect vanilla planets.

Do I have to start a new world to find Uranium on planets?

No errors. Found uranium already. Thanks again.

I screwed up with file format when i zip the files. The only error I get now is the ones about the skybox that doesn't mean anything since they still load.

Added mod and got this error message.

Awesome. Thanks.

https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/uranium-and-platinum-on-planets Still waiting for approval.

Could you upload this to mod.io for Xbox users?

Thanks :)

Ore mods that change ores on planets never work together. Ore mods have to use the same single files for most planets so you can only use 1 at a time.

Do you know if this mod works with the "Better Resources" mod?

Cant seem to find any Uranium / Platinum on the Earth. Might not work together

If you remove it things will change back. Game loads the mods and makes changes when you load a save, reverting back any changes if a mod is removed.

If you mean the errors about the sky box those shouldn't be issue. Triton was the only effect by them and I added files to fix it. The rest are not effects by the errors so added extra files to fix them would just bloat the mod.

Can i remove this mod after loading it in the world, its causing a lot of errors.

Any chance you could add the 3 versions to mod.io for Xbox users?

It picks them at random based on what the ore patch can have, such as magnesium/nickel/silicon ore patches can have one of ether Nickel/silicon be replaced by uranium instead. Out of 51 ore entries only 3 and uranium and 3 Platinum. So there chances are low but based on how the game picks them.

I don't use this beside to test it to make sure it works, but the mod with uranium can have area with no uranium in near by patches then another area with insane amounts of uranium. I wonder if Keen changed how ore are placed back when they remove uranium since it seem more common then before, even thought the mod add it back in the same few ore slots as before.

Any way to choose which items it replaces in the ore tables? I have more uranium and platinum vs iron by almost 10:1. I love having the ores but they shouldn't be the most common element.

Holy shit dude, thank you! That's awesome of you

@Lord Tiddles
K Platinum is always on the moon so when I get a the free time I'll make a version that adds Uranium deeper on the moons. Might be a few days

Sorry that was really unclear on my end, deeper uranium and platinum on moons only would be amazing, as the platinum grind in my vanilla play through had been a pain in the ass

So a version where the Uranium isn't on planets, only the moons, but deeper under the surface? With platinum still planetside side?

Is there any chance of getting this as a deep moon only variant? Really liked your deep Uranium but the platinum grind is doing my nut in. This is my go too but I'm back to building an earth fortress and hardly leaving the planet

Yea, this is a first, never had this problem before, maybe its just space engineers being space engineers.

Weird it crashed, it only changes what ores original game worlds have. Normally one overwrites another, but doesn't cause a crash. Any that even change ore types or adds new ores will confligt.

My game stopped crashing after I removed your mod, It could be a conflict, but I don't think it is as I have no other world altering mods as I know of.

Those errors are normal, I can get a world with only this mod to loaded just fine. Are you using other mods, if so one of those would be causing the crash. If not then your game install could be corrupted.

As for those error message, they always show up . They didn't in the past but then keen changes how the engine work now it throws those errors but game still works. Those are just skybox files, the mod can't access the default ones like I want it to, so after not finding them in the mod's folder the game uses the default files anyways. Only fix I found was copy all the files to the mod's directory, bloating it from 64mb to 234mb for no reason other then removing the errors.
