Thanks, I truly appreciate your invaluable help!
I have the very last question: where did you learn how to create such complex models? Could you recommend any useful tutorials, books or other sources about modeling in Blender?

Thank you for explaining your idea. I believe I understand the concept, but I don't know how to realize it in Geometry Nodes. I genuinely don't understand what nodes should I use to place procedural rocks on the points. Could you please share your solution when you have a moment?

Thank you very much for your help!
I don't think I could have done it without your help.
Could you please tell me more about:

set-up the geometry nodes to turn each point into a new rock directly

.

Thanks very much for your help!
I've found out most of that by watching some guides on Geometry Nodes on Youtube. But there is a thing that I can not solve and it seems like there is no guides on such topic: How could I make different variations of rocks in each instance? How could I distribute ...

The question is exactly what is in the topic: How to make procedural Blender rocks for Factorio ore sprites?

Thank you very much for your help. This solution is much simpler than previous one. Right now my mod is fully complete and works as intended.

Thanks again for your help. Right now my mod works as intended.
But I am curious, is there a way to replace results of mining ore with a drill with random items in real time?
For player it is pretty simple: use event "defines.events.on_player_mined_entity", but there is no such easy way for drills ...

Thanks for your help. That extension for vs code really solved all my code problems.


Well I recommend going thru the tutorials and installing vscode with fmtk, hopping thru the code with a debugger makes life soo much easier.
Last hint: table[0] isn't going to work, since arrays start with 1 in ...

The second function was made only to debug first one and it does nothing useful for mod purpose. After removing second function and moving it's code to first one, I've faced a problem: no items was given and nothing was printed into chat. I still have no idea what is wrong with my code. Anyway ...

I want to create mod, that replaces standart ore drops with random item. Right now the single prolem that i have is: list of all recipes with items (valid_recipes) is empty, and I can't figure out why. Everything else seems to work properly. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance for your ...
