LodeLoader

LodeLoader - Making Ore Mining More Diverse!

This mod expands the capabilities of Immersive Engineering by allowing you to add custom ore deposits that can be detected with the Core Sampler and extracted using the Excavator.

Configuration Setup

Customize parameters in the configuration file to adapt the mod to your needs. Here's an example configuration for reference:

[
  {
    "unlocalized_name": "Anthracites",
    "mineralChance": 80,
    "failChance": 0.2,
    "ores": [
      "oreCoal",
      "oreDiamond"
    ],
    "chances": [
      0.99,
      0.01
    ],
    "localized_names": {
      "pl_PL": "Antracyty",
      "en_US": "Anthracites"
    }
  },
  {
    "unlocalized_name": "Phosphates",
    "mineralChance": 20,
    "failChance":5.2,
    "ores": [
      "oreApatite",
      "oreSaltpeter"
    ],
    "chances": [
      0.7,
      0.3
    ],
    "localized_names": {
      "pl_PL": "Fosforyty",
      "en_US": "Phosphates"
    }
  }
]

Parameter Explanation:

• unlocalized_name - base name of the deposit consisting of one word without spaces (as short as possible). This is the identifier you'll use to reference this deposit in the Immersive Engineering system.

• mineralChance - chance to find a chunk with this deposit. Higher values mean higher detection probability. Each new deposit redistributes the overall chances proportionally based on their values.

• failChance - probability that the excavator's scoop will be empty during extraction. Can be set to zero if you want guaranteed results with every action.

• ores and chances - list of ores from the ore dictionary and their corresponding probabilities. The total sum of chance values must always equal 1.

• localized_names - enable adding localized deposit names for different languages.

LodeLoader transforms standard resource mining into an exciting process of exploring and extracting various ore deposits!
