Ores to Nuggets "Tweak" - Any interest?

[Golrith]

In some discussions regarding the old TE3 vs IC2 vs BC vs Balance vs Fun vs Grind discussion I mentioned that one possible way of changing the game "difficulty/balance/grind" (depending on your perspective) would be to change it so that ores cook down to Nuggets, resulting in a 9x resource cost across all mods.

I've done a quick test with MineTweaker, and this is possible. Ores and Pulverized ores are cooked into Nuggets. The only mod that I don't think will be affected by this would be Tinkers Construct. Plus the TE Induction Smelter will still cook Ingots.


Would anyone be interested in this? Makes those resources very valuable, and dungeon loot that contains ingots would be highly valued.
I personally wouldn't use this, but I know some people were interested in that other topic.

It is also very easy to change it to two nuggets, if you think just the one is too insane.

Well, i say i would be VERY interested.
But well. I say you do gotta make some ores give more.
Like iron 1 nugget
Gold 3.
And so on depending on their rarity.
(Also if you could do GT support i would personaly love you)
(ofcourse macerating and stuff gives double the ingots)

Changing the number of nuggets based on rarity defeats the point of rarity. But it's all in a text file, so easy to tweak to tastes.

Doing IC2/GregTech support is possible. Never used GregTech so not aware of what ore processing it adds, but as long as I can identify the ore, the nugget and the dusts, it's possible.

Okay

(I used minetweaker before but failed horrible and ragequitted 3 hours later)

Hmm, seem to have hit a hurdle.

Works perfectly on Gold Ore, but on Copper Ore, TE is still turning it into a ingot in a redstone furnace, while in a normal furnace it's turning it into a nugget.
Seems there are alternate smelting recipes out there. Until I can resolve that, if possible, this Ores to Nuggets may not be happening.

Gtech- would be epic. If this ratio persists across ores/dusts then probably the only one to watch out for would be the 3x iron in the IBF.

Though it is a very heavy nerf; personally 3-4 nuggets would be pretty good though.

 

[Golrith]

Wow, really? That's arrogant. 'Nuf said.

Currently MineTweaker needs more mod support to be able to get this to work correctly, or some clever modder to do it. Since I know nothing about Java, that counts me out

I could see a problem editing the GT stuff, as GT checks for modifications to its recipes and either corrects them or halts. So if you take oreGT and make it to output nuggetGT, GT will fix it and make it output ingotGT or halt the game from loading.

He also ensures it is the last mod to do anything, so nothing can override it (without resorting to stuff you shouldn't (ref mDiyo vs Greg))

There is also the option for a mod to edit greg's code (via a coremod), but I am not sure what kind of retaliation that would get from greg.

'Theres a config for that luckily.
Also, you might be able to ask greg on that regard. Im sure he will just go with it and allow you or something
