Captolite already has the same yield when mined as ores that stack to 500, except it stacks to 75 so it takes up a lot of space as of now to store or transport. The only thing I was recommending was leaving the yield the same and allowing it to stack to 500.

During that run, I was using the "Set up camp" mod so that I could go to mountain biomes to try and collect more captolite since mining ore deposits was the only way to acquire it (no ground mining or trading). Even then, it was incredibly difficult to get any large sums of it. At least from my experience, the spawning of Captolite is already rare enough to where you won't have to worry about hyper-inflation. Using it as a currency never really worked for me anyway since you could not sell it to traders.

The biggest issue with giving more yield, is that the value of the ore is going to hyper-inflate your colony wealth, making for extremely unfair raids etc.

I suppose. Just figured I would let you know since it is a potentially non-niche issue for anyone who goes light on their mod usage

To answer your question though, I don't know if I can override the stack quantity, but I should be able to I guess. But you can also achieve that with a stack mod or deep storage mod.

@joester610 - OI think it is because I am so used to playing with stack size increases since back when I made this, that small quantity stacks like this is not that big of a problem. Still, I never really had the chance to test the Captolite being used extensively. It is also intended as a currency/material hybrid, except actually useful for equipment, or structures for its stats.

I highly suggest updating the large quantity ores (x10 required) to stack to 500 rather than 75. Just for kicks I tried using Captolite for a lot of the things in my colony about a year ago and the number of issues I ran into because of the 75 stacks were incredible.

It is used for the settings menu for the mod. It is a framework that makes it easier for modders to add settings, as ohterwise, adding settings to a Rimworld mod is quite the headache.

As stated in the description atm:

"Through XML Extensions, you can configure which ores should generate. This can be switched on the fly without breaking your save! Though you do need to reload Rimworld for any changes to take effect."

What exactly is XML Extensions required for?
