This is still my preferred asteroid mod. Just the right amount and no top tier ore. It is also compatible with other asteroid mods

Thats actually how it used to be I think

im downloading this because the resource grind in starbound is awful, its sad to see how much starbound depends on mods to live.

You visit ones you haven't been to. Try punching some coordinates into your nav. that're real far from anywhere you've been before installing.
how do I load new asteroids?
Sev097 21 Nov, 2023 @ 7:42am 
yeah, thank goodness that that is realistic, makes my life a LOT easier
Sir Greaves  [author] 20 Nov, 2023 @ 9:44pm 
The iron is inspired by reality, where some asteroids are like 90% iron :D
Sev097 20 Nov, 2023 @ 5:44pm 
the iron ive found lol, thank god for that too. iron is AWFUL to mine normally.
Sir Greaves  [author] 20 Nov, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
Yep, that's pretty normal. It's also set to have much higher iron, but sometimes you can go an age without seeing any.
Sev097 20 Nov, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
ah, gotcha. couldnt seem to find any for some reason, even though i found some massive chunks of durasteel and titanium
Sir Greaves  [author] 20 Nov, 2023 @ 4:22pm 
Yes this includes Diamonds, yes this includes Tungsten. It's just that, because of how the asteroid clusters work, you're either gonna find a whole lotta nothing or huge chunks of just ore.

You also have to visit asteroids that haven't previously been generated, after installing the mod, for it to work.
Sev097 20 Nov, 2023 @ 2:11pm 
hey, i doubt anyone is still maintaning this mod, but does this include tungsten? i am having a hell of a time finding any, even after finding durasteel

Does "all ores up to and including durasteel" include diamonds?
MegaMato 26 Sep, 2023 @ 9:51pm 
You can find any tier of ore regardless of the tier of star. Usually only modest clumps of durasteel for example.
YellowKnight 12 Jun, 2022 @ 11:58am 
Ok
Sir Greaves  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 11:56am 
I only remember buffing specifically the asteroid clumps you can orbit, but don't remember anything about the stars they orbit.

With how sparse the asteroids are, it's entirely possible to still get clumps that're entirely copper or something dumb and still find durasteel rare.
YellowKnight 12 Jun, 2022 @ 9:07am 
Are the ores based on the type of star?
Consistently Awful 15 Aug, 2021 @ 10:46am 
I still have durasteel and titanium, so I dunno what I've done different to everyone else. One might want to check out other asteroid mods.

Visit asteroids you haven't been to.

Also if you use FU, it's likely that this is being over-written.
kirb 28 Apr, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
Doesn't work.
Eisvisage 6 Apr, 2020 @ 7:03am 
Finally I'll be able to find fricken iron
thank you ;_;
sas 31 Jan, 2020 @ 9:24pm 
Ores on steroids. Cool
Jokiu 22 Apr, 2019 @ 5:14pm 
Finally found myself searching asteroid fields. TBH I never knew you could actually visit asteroid fields. For a while I was worried that I couldn't find much iron except going back to calm stars and even then iron ore is kinda hard to find. But with this mod... The amount of Iron ore I find on asteroids is amazing! But it's so much that it almost feels like it's a ridiculous amount I find. But hey, that's why the Refinery exists.

I don't know if it works with Frackin' Universe's new version, but if it does, I'll post back and let people know.

More ores for the meteors
ScrambieBambie 8 Mar, 2018 @ 3:28am 
FU Info panel says its not compatible.
Sir Greaves  [author] 28 Jan, 2018 @ 2:25pm 
>Is this compatible with Frackin Universe?

FU changes far too much for me to bother keeping track, tbh.

Is this compatible with Frackin Universe?
Hexellate 11 Sep, 2017 @ 10:33pm 
For anyone wondering, this is only compatible with FU because it is overridden (i.e. with FU this mod does nothing).
Sir Greaves  [author] 10 Sep, 2017 @ 7:59pm 
>Could you put a list of all the ores you added in the description

Every ore up to (and including) Durasteel. That's in the description.

>I am unable to find any other ores than the base ones in the meteor rings


You need to visit asteroids you've never been to before. Also RNG might just be rude sometimes.

The last update was in January.
The last comment saying this still works, was July.
Yes, it still works.

Yes

Potato 26 Jun, 2017 @ 1:36pm 
yes is it
kr0w 26 Jun, 2017 @ 1:35pm 
hey is this compatable with frackin' universe??
Potato 25 Jun, 2017 @ 4:45pm 
i mean as like a patch
Potato 25 Jun, 2017 @ 4:43pm 
Could you possibly make another mod that makes titanium, durasteel, and tungsten more common in asteroids for this, if not, I understand.
NorthWestTrees 20 Jun, 2017 @ 12:48pm 
Thanks for your fast reply, and taking the time out to let me know what ore there is.
Sir Greaves  [author] 20 Jun, 2017 @ 12:04pm 
>What ores are in this mod exactly your state up to durasteel but is there diamonds and other basic ore that you would normally find on low-level planets?
>Could you list them please and thank you. :)

I add diamond, iron, tungsten, titanium, and durasteel.

Depending on how the UI handles it, I may add more in the future.
NorthWestTrees 20 Jun, 2017 @ 11:49am 
What ores are in this mod exactly your state up to durasteel but is there diamonds and other basic ore that you would normally find on low-level planets?

Could you list them please and thank you. :)

>Hey, could you make a less OP version of this? I now modding is difficult but I always feel so cheaty when I see durasteel and other high teir stuff with my new charater.

The distributions are quite low. Finding huge blobs of stuff is pretty much RNG. It's either huge blobs or nothing for miles and miles. It's incredibly difficult to playtest when a 0.01 value can mean almost never finding ore.

Works perfectly fine for me. Pastebin your log next time it happens and send me the link?

>Not working with 1.3, also causes me to be booted from astroid belts. No other mod that I have affects the Astroids in any way, shape, or form (its not FU either, tested with a clean universe and character).

Weird! I'll take a look. 'Cus the patch file itself works just fine.
