Are there mods/ways to prevent getting ore from gravel

["Hard Tack" Tom]

I took a long break from SE and today i found out that something changed over the years: refining stone now gives iron, nickel and silicon, instead of just giving gravel. This kinda ruins the whole point of my world


Can anyone show me how to change this in world settings, using console commands, or making a quick mod to do this? im looking up how to make mods now but i have no idea how to write in C# (or any language)

I believe only the survivor kit will convert stone that way.

You get iron, silicon, nickel, gravel from any refinery and the survival kit, the only difference is that it automatic in a refinery, and manually done in the survival kit.

As to disabling it, I would image you could have a replacement to the current blocks that refine stone the way you want. But I dont know of any that do that, maybe like adding a new type of ore like the stargate mod did, except make it old school stone, and regenerate your make with only this new stone. Your best bet would be to disable the refinery blocks completely somehow. And make only assemblers work. However if you used the block limits it wouldnt stop pirates spawning with refineries, so maybe some sort of script that deletes or better disables refineries.

All refineries, by default, will convert stone to ingots and gravel.

If you're going for a pure scavenger experience, then don't build any drills, or simply jettison any stone that ends up in the system if you do mine.

Just don’t refine stone then, and if you do dump the resources

Someone DM'ed me a mod that turns refineries back to the old school ones that just give gravel from stone. (its got a really weird name which is why it doesnt come up when typing "no ore from stone")

Anyway, posting this here for posterity

Thanks to all who answered :D And to QBFreak for the mod

Thanks for the clarification. :)

The only reason imo not to dump stone is in the early game due to low on resources, otherwise you get so much more from regular deposits its just not worth bother with anyway
