Long description

This mods adds mid/late game infinite resource mine that generates small amounts of random ores (iron, copper, coal) and stone using concrete and explosives.

The items are expensive by design (to have a resource sink for mid/late game)

There are 3 tiers of miners, each faster and more polluting than previous one. There is also an advanced recipe for late game using more explosives but yielding more resources..

Pictures

Known Issues

This mod can be more or less unballanced yet.
I intended it to be expensive as the structures generate "infinite" resources.

Also the graphics are more or less placeholders. If you appreciate this mod and can make some better icons or building graphics I would appreciate!.

Changelog

0.8.2
- further reduced pollution (down to 28)

- reduced adv drilling recipe cost to 8 concrete and increased yield

0.8.1
- reduced pollution significantly
- fixed items subgroups
- slightly increased yield from mining
- changed sound to mining drill

0.8.0 - Initial pre-release

I like the idea behind this, although it would be nicer if you could require it to be built on ore patches, and would only produce stone plus ores of that kind.

Aren't the recipes overpriced though?

From your picture, 12 concrete plus 3 explosives --> 5.5 stone, 1 iron ore, 1 copper ore, plus 1 coal

The 12 concrete takes 1.2 iron ore plus 12 stone
The 3 explosives take 3 coal plus 3 sulphur <- 4.5 petroleum <- ~5 oil.

So, unless I misread the recipe, this will actually cost you significant stone, some iron, and a lot of coal, and the only net positive is the copper ore?

@vanatteveldt actual recipes differ from these on screeenshots - they yield more and are actually quite interesting alternative to making these far-away train delivered resources ;p

I have 2 questions tho:
1. Are you planing any support for bob resources?
2. How about adding some low-level recipe using wood instead of concrete?

Maud is easily edit the output product recipes (the name of the ore, the amount of output ...)
