Redistributed Ore - Better Stone 1.0

Description
If you start a new save please use the new version 1.1, available here:
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3413169478
Version 1.0 has incorrectly scaled ore on moons.

Better Stone Edition of Redistributed Ore

This version was made for "Better Stone". Every planet contains the same ores as in the original mod. The ratios between the ores are preserved.

"Better Stone" broke my tier system because I would have generated more than 255 ore mappings on some planets which is the maximum supported amount. To solve this problem all ore with the least spawning probability will not spawn tier 1 surface veins. Some of the most common ores will not have ultra deep tier 4 veins. I maxed out the definitions as far as the game allows it.

Depth Tiers
Tier 1
Flat veins close to the surface. Similar to vanilla. 3-15m
Tier 2
Medium depth long veins. 40-100m. These are barely detectable by small grid ore detectors.
Tier 3
Very deep very long veins. 140-372m. It is guaranteed that these start at 140m and then dive down up to Tier 4. Large grid detectors can detect these veins.
Tier 4
Very deep bonus tier. 370-450m. Is always connected to a Tier 3 vein.

These are too deep for you? Here is a script that makes them more flat:

Original Mod
The original mod for vanilla gameplay is here:
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3364818519

Mod Compatibility
This mod does not work with other mods that replace the planet generator sbc files, height maps or material maps. It only modifies the planets that come with the game.
My Seams Fixed mod is already included and does not need to be added when this mod is used.
"Smooth Voxels" will work.

Known Issues:
The moons are not scaled correctly because I forgot they are smaller. Due to this the ore patches are smaller but there are twice as many. A fix for this is on my TODO list. I will leave a link here when the fixed version is finished.

The ore is deeper in this mod compared to Better Stone. Though there are also surface veins to be found. Above there is a link to a script that makes them less deep.

Do the mod change too much the depth of better stones?

Neat! Very well presented with good graphs. :-D
