New Version:
Gen's Blocks V2 - WIP - Survival Major

Latest Update:
Obsolesced by New Version for the Survival Major Release Version


Refineries will now be organized similar to Tier'd tools:
Emergency All-in-one 1x1x2 (T1) aka Basic
1x1x2 Grouped (T2) aka Basic
2x2x4 All-in-one (T2.5) aka Basic
2x2x4 Grouped (T3) aka Advanced
2x5x7 Grouped (T4) aka Elite

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This should be considered a Hard Mode start. Adding other block mods, especially production blocks will skew the difficulty to the easy side of things.

When you add the mods please have them in the following order from the top down:
Blocks, then Components. This is a dependancy issue due to them not being in a single Mod. They don't need to be at the top of all of your mods, just in respect to each other.

There is no scripting currently in this mod, only component and block requirement changes.

Component Changes:
-Wire Spools and Plastic are a requirement on nearly every non-armor block .
-Anything that processes Ice requires CryoPump components.
-Various tweaks to component requirements across all Vanilla blocks to use my components.
- All components use new ore types to create them.
- Ammo requires various, more realistic materials to construct.


Block Differences:
Emergency production: Designed for a harder start.
Emergency Refinery -Lower cost to build, uses more power. It is much slower and is not very efficent at making ingots.
Emergency Assembler -Lower cost to build, uses more power. Only allows hand tools and components to be built that are required to stay alive. (no detectors, no gravity, no medical, no weapons, no ammo.) Components built with this assembler take a really long time because it wasn't designed to be used for full base production.

New Large Blocks:
Chemical Assembler -Produces Plastic, Ice, Explosives.
Precious Metals Smelter-1x2 -Processes Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper(Trinium w/ Stargate Mod)
Gas Evaporator-1x2 -Converts Liquid into gas. Liquid comes from refining Ices.
Special Solids Pulverizer-1x2 -Processes non-metals like stone, silicon.(I still need to move some metals to other refinery types)
Volatile Fuel Refinery-1x2 -Processes Uranium(Also Naquadah if using my Stargate Materials). I will be changing this to just Hazardous Materials in the future. (Uranium, Mercury, Sodium, etc)
Large Versions of the above special Refineries.
Medium Hydrogen Tank-1x2 same size as the Oxygen Tank, needs to be re-textured.
Batteries return 60/120 power cells, then 60 as scrap.
Breeder Reactor creates Depleted Uranium and Plutonium from Uranium. (Weapon resource)
Hydrogen Fuel Cell - Power output between a battery and a small reactor.
Hydrogen Fusion Reactor - more power than a large reactor.
Helium3 Fusion reactor - more power than a Hydrogen Fusion reactor.
Armor blocks - Light Blocks require Girders to start then Steel plate, Heavy require Girders and Titanium Plate.
Oxygen Generator renamed to Gas Evaporator - (Orange and Green) Liquid Gas Bottles can be converted directly to gasses. Ice needs to be processed into Liquid gasses in a refinery first.

Planed future blocks:
Super Large Refineries aproximately double in size, under contract with ShaoCorp.
Larger Assemblers approximately the size of a current Vanilla refinery, under contract with ShaoCorp.

Ore/Ingot Changes:
Stone refines into mostly gravel with a little silicon and Iron and even less trace materials.
Planetary materials Grass, Sand, etc. Also refine into other compound Ingot types rather than stone in vanilla.
Different planetary materials have different yeilds.
The same materials on other planets refine into a different mix of ingots.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Some known issues are actually issues with the materials and componets mod and are listed there.
Respawn ships will spawn with Ice in the Gas Evaporator inventory, move it to the refinery to get O2/H2 production going.

Test respawn ship blueprint here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=404496883
You'll want to spawn it into a new world in creative mode and take it over.
