Strike the Earth! - Ores and Alloys
It's another metal complicator mod, and the second in my Dwarf Fortress series. This one is an addon to Medieval Overhaul.
By default, only adds a bronze production chain, but using XML Extensions mod options, you can opt into several more. [b]So XML Extensions is not required, but is heavily recommended to opt into most of the mod content.[/b]
Using XML Extensions, you can customise your steel smelting difficulty by adding any or all of the additional items required in Dwarf Fortress.
Highly recommend the use of Categorized Bill Menus if you have decided to add all of the metals.
Full list of all content with all XML Extensions opt-in options enabled:
[list]
[*] A production chain for bronze, which is made from copper and tin. If VFE Classical is enabled, this results in VFE Classical bronze, otherwise there's a new bronze item.
[*] New metals: Copper, tin, zinc, platinum, lead. Need to be smelted into ingots, like in existing Medieval Overhaul metals. All non-alloy metals can also be made automatically in the furnace.
[*] New alloys: Bronze, brass, black bronze, rose gold, lay pewter.
[*] Custom commonality settings so that raiders and traders will mostly still use steel and sometimes bronze weapons and armour, rather than weak tin, copper or pewter.
[*] Two new research projects - one for basic alloys (bronze and brass) and one for decorative alloys (black bronze and rose gold). Changes to the MO steel research mean you need to have researched basic alloying first, then can move up to steel later.
[*] An extra iron ore - h(a)ematite, and two extra copper ores, malachite and tetrahedrite. You can either smelt them into their regular metals, or make blocks out of them for lovely colours. Tetrahedrite will also provide a small amount of silver.
[*] Opt into extra difficulty for steel production, needing flux stone, coal or charcoal, and/or pig iron bars
[*] Optional Dwarf Fortress-accurate metal and ore names.
[/list]
To do: floors compatibility ( :( ), barrels for each ore
Not implemented yet: [list]
[*] Mining uranium no longer simply produces uranium metal, but uranium ore, which can't be refined into uranium until the industrial age. Uranium ore is a bright yellow and can be made into blocks or otherwise used for decoration.
[*] Options to rename uranium ore, including to pitchblende.
