Graphene Armor [Beta]
Date: 11.10.2019
Version 0.9.9 - Graphene Oxygen and Graphene Hydrogen Bottles, Cargo, Balancing. Cleanup.
Author: Bean (Brenku)


[NEW] Graphene Oxygen and Graphene Hydrogen Bottles
* High-Visibility G-Menu icons. Never confuse Oxygen and Hydrogen tanks again!
Note: These will not interfere or replace the default oxygen/hydrogen bottles! THEY CO-EXIST!
* (Both tanks) Mass = 3.33 (1/6th the weight of steel - per: http://luratia.com/graphene/tag/weight )
* (Both tanks) Volume = 80. Was 120 (Vanilla). It can be compressed more, due to the strength of the container holding it.
* Oxygen Capacity = 150. Was 100 (Vanilla). 50% increase to available oxygen in tank.
* Hydrogen Capacity = 1500. Was 1000 (Vanilla). 50% increase to available hydrogen in tank.

[Added] Added information for pricing, for shop items.

[Changed] Graphene plates are now half the weight, but require twice as many plates for existing blueprints. This is to adjust to some properties which propogate through other Graphene mods/addons including this one.

[Changed] Graphene Cargo Container has been made to the same size and dimensions as vanilla cargo container. The benefits of graphene come from a lighter object (more on your mining ships!)

[Removed] Wall-Mounted Batteries. Moved to addon mod. Not everyone wants it!
Get it here: Mobile Power Pack Kit

[Removed] Graphene Solar Panels. Moved to addon mod. Not everyone wants it!
Get it here: Graphene Lg. Solar Panel [Addon]

[Fixed all missing blueprints] Inn the production menus. All Graphene blocks should now be available for production. Look for their telltale icons to quickly find them.

[Fixed Icon] Graphene PowerCell component was indistinguishable from vanilla cells. I was making the wrong ones on occasion and wasting resources! Sorry! All graphene components have a distinguishable logo.

[Fixed Icon] Graphene Stairs were indistinguishable from vanilla. Sorry! All graphene parts now have a distinguishable logo.

[Fixed Icon] Graphene Ramp was indistinguishable from vanilla. Sorry! All graphene parts now have a distinguishable logo.

[Other]
* Code Cleanup - All XML is cleaner
* Mod should be much smaller with the removal of some textures and models. :)
- Previous File Size: 111.046 MB

[Up Next:]
* Missing 2x1x1 blocks/textures. This will take me a bit of time. But I want it for 1.0!
* Figure out why Graphene Catwalk is shown twice in the G-menu.
* Other texture changes
* Progression System
* Balancing ( Suggestions welcome here.
* What about graphene in use for a jump drive? Plausible increase in capacitive charging, and lighter weight, which remains true to graphene properties. 15% increase in charging, and shave the weight from steel plates to graphene plates?

Graphene Armor [Beta]
Date: 15.9.2019
Version 0.9.8 - Updated Carbon Ore
Author: Bean (Brenku)

Fixed: Carbon Ore was not spawning properly in games. It will now, and is about as common as Nickel.

New: Carbon ore now has a newer and darker texture.

Why?: This reflects the changes KeenSWH made, having ores be more sparse in the universe. Carbon is now as common as Nickel, which makes it quite useful as a resource.

What's in the pipeline? Considering how to re-texture existing blocks, and add missing slopes. Don't get too excited yet. It's for the future!

Discuss this update in the discussions section.

Review previous changes here.

=============================================================================
Good to know:
Graphene Ore Extractor has now been removed from the core mod, and moved to an ADDON! Additionally the Graphene Armor Grinder can assist with those stubborn Graphene blocks when building. You can find them here:
Graphene Armor Extractor [Addon]
Graphene Armor Grinder [Addon]
=============================================================================
See Graphene Armor Change notes for previous versions.
=============================================================================
[Troubleshooting]
If you have updated to this mod, and you can't place blocks or other weird things. First try deleting the 332768931.sbm file (on dedicated servers) or your local games mod folder. This forces it to redownload, and fixes most issues.
=============================================================================
What does this mod do?
Add very strong and durable Graphene Blocks to your game. It also adds more powerful blocks to make life easier.

Examples:
Most blocks are drastically _LIGHTER_ than vanilla.
VERY large storage container
Rock to ore extractor [Addon]: Extract trace elements (a little of EACH) from rocks. Get it here.

Graphene Super Capacitors: Hefty batteries. Utilizes unique traits of graphene.
More powerful solar cells [Addon]. Get it here.
More efficient/lighter reactors.
Unique components, making creation of specialized blocks more engaging.
Does not overwrite vanilla blocks.

How do I use it?
This mod works best if you stick it at the top of your loadout, and when you start a new game.

HOWEVER: It will still work on infinite asteroids if you add it later.
It's just that when you find _new_ asteroids, they have the possibility of carbon ore.

Essentially, you harvest carbon ore from asteroids (I'm 99% sure it doesn't spawn on planets).
You take this carbon ore and refine it into carbon components like: graphite powder, graphene nanotubes, or graphene aerogel. Then you can use those items to build blocks, reactors, etc.

=============================================================================
TL;DR: this is very strong and very lightweight armor... Not just some textured blocks!

Version 0.9.7.3 - Minor Fix
Date: 19.01.2018

Fixed: Small Graphene cubes had incorrect proportional weight. While not perfect, it's at least lighter than light steel cubes.

Version 0.9.7.2 - Hotfix for SE Update 1.184.004 (default)
Date: 17.09.2017

Update: Fixed ♥♥♥♥♥♥ disabling code I did in a rush. Sorry guys!

Temporarily disabling Graphene Ore Detectors in the code. Code exists, but Graphene Ore Detector blocks can't be used.

I will work on a fix for this when time permits.
