AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution

Please refer to the changelog for patch notes.

This mod changes ore deposits on planets to be further below the surface but also much larger. It further also changes ore distribution: Now certain ores can only be found on specific planets, and what resources can be found in asteroids is greatly reduced.

Ore deposits on planets have been altered. They are much, much larger than in vanilla but have also largely been moved further down into the ground. As a result, it is much more worth to build permanent mining outposts.

Ore depth is determined by their "tier":

• Tier 1: Iron, Nickel, Silicon - 50-300m
  
• Tier 2: Cobalt, Magnesium, Silver - 200-800m
  
• Tier 3: Gold, Platinum, Uranium - 400-1000m

Lower tier ores may still appear at lower depths, however.

Ore distribution has been altered significantly. The goal is to add a reason to visit all planets, which is achieved by distributing ores over the different planets. The distribution is designed with a start on the earthlike planet in mind, but with the economy update you may be able to make any planet work - or even a space start.

• I recommend using AQD - Planetary Respawn Rovers together with this mod. It will allow you to more easily start out in a good spot close to the now harder to reach ore deposits.
  
• As of patch 1.1 this mod does not directly edit the vanilla planets anymore. As a result, it is compatible with other mods changing the vanilla planets.

• This mod is inspired by Chrido's (Scarce Resources) as well as Ghost722nd's (DeepOres) mods. I really liked their ideas but wanted to make some changes that better suited my vision for how it should be set up. Hence this mod.
  
• Meridius_IX / Lucas - For writing the base script, with which the ore remapping is implemented.
