Description

Description
Aren't you tired of just scratching the surface of this alien planet to get resources ?
Don't you think that there could be more to find under your feet ?
You're right !
And these new mining tools are made for you, if you are not too lazy to research a new technology : Advanced Mining.

Firstly, you can craft better hand tools :
- a pneumatic drill that mines faster.
- an electric pneumatic drill that mines even faster.
Try these, but be careful, it shakes a little...

Secondly, if you love explosions like I do, you can use dynamite to expel to the surface the resources that are just under your feet, in order to mine them.
For this you have access to 5 dynamite types (one for each resource : coal, stone; iron, copper, oil + eventually some moded ores). Put the dynamite on the ground, wait a few seconds and BOOM ! There is also a special dynamite to wipe/erase resource from a position.

Thirdly, if you want to explore further depths and expel huge amount of resources, you can use the High Pressure Water Injection, with a little addition of sulfur to fully exploit the underground of this horrible planet !
This is done with a special machine, the High Pressure Water Injector, that needs lots of water, some sulfur and a lot of energy. And it creates a lot of pollution.
Well, did you really figure that you'll get this advantage for free ??? But don't be afraid : this is a very good way to maintain cordial neighborly relations with the aliens living around...
In phase 1, the machine prepares 100 barrels of injections. When everything is ready, phase 2 starts, acid hot water is injected and you can see resources emerging progressively to the surface. MAGICAL !
You'd better wait the end of the process to install your mining facilites, because the soil is not very stable during this last phase, due to gas activities...
You'll see that appearing resources are not so well arranged as classical resource fields, but are a little mixed, so you'll have a little more work to exploit all these new resources. And if the emerging field does not fullfill your expectations, just give it another try a few meters further ...
Note : take care to put the sulfur by hand in the water injector, because inserters cannot full it up (factorio assembling machine limitation).

And don't worry, to exploit these concentrated mixed resource fields, you have a new mining facility : the Fast Electric Mining Drill !
It just works 3 times faster than the classical Electric Mining Drill...

By the way, if you don't find water close to your future mining field, you may have a look at the Water Well Pump...
And if you are impatient to see the result and you think that this process is too slow, please consider speeding the game for a short time using the Time Tools...
Oh yes, just one last thing: if you like lightshows, try to launch phase 1 around 10:00am and don't forget to come back to see phase 2 when the night falls...

Download
For Factorio 0.13.X :
Please now use the portal for downloads (see link above or use ingame mod install/update), as I won't update both downloads links here anymore.

So this is just a source of infinite ores? Seems a bit broken, Could be great for turtle bases but this just promotes anti-exploration.
How powerful are the resources? they shouldn't have a lot in them, and I'm assuming you can just the same area over and over to bring ores up.

[binbinhfr]

Yes obviously, this mod is oriented towards turtle bases. Some players just like to focus on their factory.
Dynamite does expel the same average resource than in the basic starting zone.
Water injector expel far more resources, closer to an average resource field generated by RSO when you are far from your starting base.

But anyway, you can edit the config.lua file to suit your needs.

[binbinhfr]

here is v1.0.3 : prevents the player to exploit twice the same zone with the Water Injector.
Note that it won't take into account the mining fields you already created with v1.0.2...

Thank you for your support. I knew that at least one person will like it ! I put so much efforts on the spawning effects

sorry I had to correct the spelling

[binbinhfr]

Here is v1.0.5 = correct a bug when a mined dynamite still explodes. Prevents opening of dynamite entity. Correction of the german locale.

[MrSonic]

I encountered a bug that crashes the game while trying to place the ore removal dynamite with construction bots. I was trying to save myself some effort but it seems to just crash the game. Otherwise this is an awesome mod.

Waooo, you're very quick : I never tried to make a blueprint with these dynamites during the 5 seconds countdown

But the bug is now corrected, here is v1.0.6

Is there some kind of a timeout for this or is it indefinite?

Besides that I like this mod, also what is needed to make a new dynamite type? I would to make a patch that's adds a few more type based on mod ores.

It's infinite : once you exploit one area underground, it is exhausted. But you can create a new area just contiguous to the first one. If it is too close, the Injector would not start working.

For a new ore, please give me the name of the mod that integrates this other ore and I'll see what I can do. I have to integrate it in the code, but also design an icon for the recipe. I could make my code more modular to easily integrate custom ore.

Removal Dynamite doesn't seem to work on oil? or does it have to have low levels.

That's a bug. Will be corrected soon in the next version.
I try to integrate Uranium and custom ores, on condition of their respective mods are presents. Not so easy...

Guest_4544 , can you test this extended version of the mod with your 3 nuclear mods, and tell me if everything is ok for you before I publish it as a stable version ?

It integrates ores and gas, with dynamites and injection.

The newly added dynamite ore works as intended, I had to enable those recipes manually because I already researched the tech and Factorio doesn't have a more convenient way of doing it.
Removing the mods doesn't cause any crashes or whatsoever

Those test are done in Single Player.

I'll work on the recipe updates. Then release the version.

PS: by the way, the "reactor" mod does not seem really finished...
