[Mod] More Ores [moreores]

by Calinou » Fri Dec 09, 2011 19:09

This mod adds copper, tin, silver and gold in Minetest. This mod also adds three new sets of tools and swords.

All these five ores give lumps upon mining - those lumps are smeltable into ingots, then you can do tools, blocks, and locked chests out of them.

GitHub repository (includes issue tracker)

Download
Rename the directory to “moreores” after extracting the .zip file.

Tin ore is a common ore (a bit less common than copper, though), found in small patches. When mined, produces 1 tin lump. Can be smelted into tin ingots, used to make bronze ingots.

Silver ore is a rather uncommon ore. When mined, produces 1 silver lump. Can be smelted into silver ingots.

Mithril ore is a fairly rare ore, found in very small patches, but it is only found very deep underground (starting from 512 blocks under sea level). When mined, produces 1 mithril lump. Can be smelted into mithril ingots.

Blocks:
Crafted as usual (like you would craft a steel block), look on the wiki. Can be crafted back into 9 ingots.

Locked chests can be crafted (and upgraded, see more blocks mod) using bronze, silver and gold ingots.
Copper rails can be crafted, like normal rails but with copper ingots instead of steel ingots.

Tools and swords:
Crafted as usual (like you would craft a wood, stone, steel or MESE tool/sword), look on the wiki.

Bronze tools are quite slow but last a long time.
Silver tools are fast and last quite long.
Gold tools don't last very long but mine very fast, golden swords are quite light so they can be swinged a bit more often.
Mithril tools last long and mine fast, mithril swords are very light so they can be swinged much more often.

Any suggestions? More ores to add, more uses for the ores, balance suggestions?

Uranium possibly. Could be used in the future to make nuclear bombs in minetest? Do we really want that? lol

Thanks for the suggestions. :)

- Ores quite often generate where they should not (outside of stone). No possible fix for now.


Is your original post's bug still applicable?

Also, could you make it a little less difficult to add tool types? That could be a separate mod that is a dependency of this one (and so, so many others). In fact, I'll try to make that right now.

OK, I made a working copy of your mod:

https://gitorious.org/marktraceur-minetest-mods/moreores/archive-tarball/0.1

And it now depends on my mod:

https://gitorious.org/marktraceur-minetest-mods/add_tool/archive-tarball/0.1

Feel free to ask any questions, but it works for me. I'll post my mod in a new topic, too.

Calinou, did you look at the add_tool mod? It makes your mod some 300 lines shorter--very handy.

It still is. However, I made ore spawns rarer, so this bug should happen a bit less often. I think this only happens if playing locally, since you can see fake stone when new chunks get generated.
EDIT: version 2 up, now uses your function! Thanks MarkTraceur! :)

Calinou, you should probably depend on my mod, rather than including its contents in yours....that will make things much easier for other mods that add tools.

Done, it now depends on your mod. I included add_tool in the zip so people don't have to download two things.

What do you think about implementing all kinds of stones and ores as in Dwarf Fortress?

Is it intended that iron ore and coal are most rare?

Coal/Iron generation is not touched. Iron being too rare is a bug in the vanilla game.

I know iron and coal are original ores, somehow my post has been cut :-(

Independet of the iron/gold ratio (which i didn't know to be a bug by now), there still seems to be a coal:gold ratio of 1:2.

If this isn't a result of me beeing lucky in finding gold i think at least gold and silver should be much more rare than coal
