TBH - Compressed Ores

Description
Adds ore compression for increased cargo storage!

Description

Are you tired of taking too many trips on your mining expeditions? Tired of your mining vessels consisting of dozens of cargo containers? Us too! Here at TBH Industries, we have developed a way to compress your ores down to size all while conserving their original mass! Using advanced engineering techniques, definitely not based on modern day trash compactors, the TBH Ore Compactor is your one stop solution! More Ore + Less Space = A Happy Miner!




Features
This mod adds 'Compressed Ore' versions of all ores including ice. It also includes the small/large grid block 'Ore Compactor', as well as a large grid block "Ore Mill" for converting the compressed ores back to their original form for increased mod compatibility.

Ore Compactor

This block accepts ore as an input and produces Compressed Ore blocks.
Dimensions: 5Lx2Wx3H
Conveyor Ports:
  • x3 Small Conveyors (One front, One on each side)
  • x1 Large Conveyor (Back)

Ore Compactor Large

This block accepts ore as an input and produces Compressed Ore blocks.
Dimensions: 3Lx1Wx1H
Conveyor Ports:
  • x6 Conveyors (One on the back, five surrounding the front)


Compressed Ores

Compressed ores are half the volume of their traditional counterparts and twice the weight. They will yield twice as much as regular ores when refined! Compressed ores cannot be refined in the basic refinery or the survival kit.
  • Compressed Ice*
  • Compressed Stone
  • Compressed Iron
  • Compressed Nickel
  • Compressed Silicon
  • Compressed Cobalt
  • Compressed Magnesium
  • Compressed Silver
  • Compressed Gold
  • Compressed Platinum
  • Compressed Uranium

    *Due to how gas generation works, the compression ratio for ice is a 1:1 but halves the item's volume. Compressed ice has the same gas yield as regular ice, but compressing it will allow you to carry more per trip thus increasing overall yield.

Mod Compatibility

Ore Mill
The Ore Mill is a large grid block that converts compressed ores back into their original counter parts. While this is NOT needed for the mod to function, compressed ores can be smelted directly in a refinery for double yield, this block aims to increase mod compatibility. If you are using another mod that alters the yield of vanilla ores, you can use this block to convert the compressed ores back to normal to allow the other mod to function. This does not guarantee mod compatibility. Although this mod is fairly safe, if you are using other mods that tweak with ores, make a separate save to test their compatibility with mine before using it on your dedicated server or main save file.

@Wonzy would be awesome to see!
Will keep an eye on your Discord for any streams or updates

@Bejasc That is a great idea! I may create a separate mod that adds that feature, but is compatible with my other mods as well, so people can pick and choose what they want to use.

I'd love to see a version of the Ore Mill that crushes ore, giving "Crushed Iron", "Crushed Cobalt" etc, that can be refined for an increased yield.

I know Industrial Overhaul has this, but IO goes too far from vanilla - too complex/too many other ores.

Something that worked like this for vanilla ores would be amazing.

oui mais j ai trouver d ou ca venais je n' avais pas accee de power donc desole ton mod fonctionne tres bien

@erik Bonjour! Je ne parle qu'anglais mais j'utilise un traducteur. Lorsque vous placez deux compacteurs sur la même grille, ils arrêtent complètement de fonctionner ?

bonjour j ai un souci avec le compactor je ne peut pas en mettre plus de 2 sinon les compactor ne fonctionne pas

i want a small block ore mill
Wonzy  [author] 6 Dec, 2023 @ 8:45am 
@LawrenceindaSky It will run with that mod in use but it will only partially work. The mod will work for the vanilla ores, but not the new ones. If that mod changes the yield value of the vanilla ores, you will want to use the Ore Mill block before smelting the compressed ore to get the alternate values.

@infra Industrial Overhaul is also not supported, same deal as this one ^


Unfortunately the way things are in Space Engineers, every item has to be manually defined. So any new ore that a mod adds, I would have to make a definition for it in my mod, including the model, icons, etc. I need to find the time to make compatibility packs for some of these other mods.

Is the mod supporting Better Stone by any chance?
