Configurable Ores

Favor to ask: If you downvote or don't upvote, please tell me why so I can improve the mod? I'd appreciate it a lot!

This mod gives players and admins the power to add, remove, and modify ores present on each planet. It supports vanilla and modded planets and ores. It uses a tunable algorithm to determine how much or little of an ore spawns on a planet, as well as the depth at which it spawns and the size of the deposits. It achieves Vanilla-like mining experiences out-of-the-box and can quickly create a unique experience for your game world with a few short chat commands.

Ore settings can be configured at three levels: World, Planet, and Ore.

This mod can be used in place of:

• Deeper ores mods
  
• Scarce/more/balanced resources mods
  
• Compatibility "patches" between mods that add planet ores
  
• One-off planet re-uploads which can be an intellectual property grey area with modders.

What it does not do:

• Modify boulders or asteroids. Configurable Parameters has settings for that.
  
• Change the shapes, geographical locations, or clustering of ore deposits. For that you must combine this mod with planet mod, such as Procedurally Generated Ore.

• This mod has mild compatibility issues with planets which have a decorative custom VoxelMaterial with a MinedOre value matching an actual mineable ore. Mars and Cascadia have examples of this phenomenon: Mars with "Ice" and Cascadia with "CobaltCrystal". This mod has a work-around: It keeps a manually-updated list of static VoxelMateirals which should not be touched. However, it cannot know about all the static VoxelMaterials for every planet. I welcome planet modders to send me lists of their mineable VoxelMaterials which should be considered static. A future update to this mod will let the user edit the static VoxelMaterials list.
  
  
• This mod does not work well with mods that dramatically reduce ore slots on planets or change how special purpose voxel materials (such as Iron_01) are used. Industrial Overhaul is one such mod. Depending on how you use Configurable Ores, you might be able to do some changes, but both the Industrial Overhaul and Configurable Ores experiences will be, in my opinion, severely impacted. I am (slowly) working to make Configurable Ores better able to handle Industrial Overhaul, but it will be some time.
  
  
• It's recommended to use this mod on a new world. Loading it on an existing world can cause some weirdness. For example, if ore deposits have already been drilled into, they will appear to be the old ore. They will need to be drilled into again to change to the new ore.
  
  
• Changes to world settings also change every planet the same way. Changes to planet settings also change all of its assigned ores the same way. Yes, this means that changes to world settings affect every single assigned ore the same way. Therefore: Make all world level changes first, then planet level, and finally ore level. If you make changes in this order, you will not lose any changes.

The Space Engineers modding community is outstanding.

I learned C# so I could write this mod. This is my first C# program and my first SE script mod. I had many questions. Everyone in this modding community has been supremely helpful and very kind. Thank you.
