[B19] Gold Rush

Description
A long time ago, life in the rim was lone and boring. But then it happened: GOLD was found! All of a sudden people from all over the planet rushed to the rivers to find a nugget of this precious metal. And with it comes a new, dealdy disease: GOLD FEVER!

---------------------------------------------------------

GOLD RUSH adds structures and recipes to mine gold out of the rivers (and rivers only!). In rivers, the following structures can be build:

---------------------------------------------------------

======= GOLD PAN =======

A classic! Simplest of the tools. (10 Steel) Three recipes possible:

- Use Gold Pan:
Simply washing out some dirt from the river. 1 piece of gold is obtained, but it takes ages!
- Wash out sedement:
Washing out dug up sedement promises better results. 1 piece of gold is obtained, moderate time-consuming.
- Wash out filtered sedement:
Filtered sedement is the best base for using your gold pan. 3 pieces of gold are obtained, moderate time-consuming.

======= DIGGING SPOT =======

As simple as it is. A shovel and a bucket. (15 Steel)

- Dig up sedement from the river
The heavier gold is found deeper on the ground of the river. Dig for it! 1 sedement is obtained, moderate time-consuming.


======= STREAM SLUICE =======

Use the power of the stream to filter your sedement. (70 Steel)

- Filter sedement
The dug up sedement will get filtered and sedement rich of gold will be left. 1 filtered sedement is obtaines, moderate time-comsuming.


======= DREDGE =======

An improvised dredge! Pumping up sedment from the river and leading it directly into an integrated stream sluice! Making gold-mining way more easy! (Steel 180 | Components 15 | Chemfuel 50)

- Pump up river sedement and filter it
By using a pump, powered by a generator, and a stream sluice, filtered sedement is obtained way more efficient. 6 filtered sedements are obtained, moderate time-consuming. Needs chemfuel!

---------------------------------------------------------

The following structure must be build on solid ground:

---------------------------------------------------------

======= GOLD SHAKING-TABLE =======

A masterpiece of engineering! Great alternative to your gold pan and it keeps your hands dry! But the fine mechanism only works with filtered sedement. (Steel 250 | Components 12) 50 Buckets of filtered sedement can be "stored" nearby. (In-game declared as "fuel")

- Use shaking table
Using the shaking table to extract the gold out of the filtered sedement. 1 piece of gold is obtained, fast production. needs power!

---------------------------------------------------------

MOD should be compatible with existing save-games.

I really hope you enjoy my mini-mod, feel free to leave a comment below. Balance discussions are best made in one thread in the discussion zone.
Also in advance: Sorry for some typos or grammatical errors, I'm not a native speaker!


MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!

All it needs is a lower production rate of gold...

Is there some way to make it so certain zones or tiles are considered 'gold rich' and others 'gold poor', which would directly affect the amount of gold produced? Perhaps even a way to 'use up' all the gold in a river?

Great mod though a bit unbalanced: making money is way too easy this way because the rate at which you 'produce' gold is very high (and since it's an endless source there is also no limit to creating endless digging spots, dredges and shaking tables). Could you perhaps lower the rate at which either sediment is dug up or gold is produced from the shaking table? It would keep the mod interesting without taking away most of the challenge of the game!! :)

This will be great for when the Westernization Project gets updated!
