Description


Current version: 1.0
Please refer to the changelog for patch notes.


This mod increases the size of ore depots on planets and moons but also moves them further down into the surface. It works with all planets, modded too, and with all vanilla ores. The goal is to encourage players to build proper mining outposts as resources in one location last longer.

AQD - A Quantum of Depth is a project of mine, encompassing multiple small and larger mods aimed at improving the gameplay experience and eventually overhauling larger parts of the game:





Deeper ore veins on all planets
All ore veins are moved deeper into the planets. How deep depends on the type of ore - "starter" ores like iron, silicon and nickel are located 50m below ground. Cobalt and magnesium can be found 100 and 200m below ground respectively. Silver and gold are located at 300m, platinum and uranium at 400m below ground. The size of the veins varies depending on the ore as well, generally becoming smaller, the more "rare" an ore is (but at minimum still larger than vanilla deposits).

  • This mod technically works with AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution, but as they both do similar things, they will overwrite each others settings.
  • I would recommend using either a mod increasing the ore detector range or the [VSI] Ore Deposit Scanner by Darkmist to make identifying the content of an ore spot easier.


  • Ghost722nd - Maker of the original Deep Ores mod.
  • Meridius_IX / Lucas - For writing the base script, with which the ore remapping is implemented.

stolen Mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3164084871
i think so

Well, the change is pretty straightforward in SBC. This mod does it differently, but that's just for compatibility - if you do it for your own world then that's overkill. I'd recommend you join the KeenSWH discord if you want to learn modding - that's were most active modders are active and can give advice.

this is amazing so far, i love it! can we get tips or a version on making the ores bigger and deeper? like triple the depth and 5-10x the deposit size?

much love, thank you so much for making this

Does this mod work with Better Stone?
enenra  [author] Nov 30, 2023 @ 8:31am 
Only vanilla ores are affected.

Is it compatible with industrial overhaul?

Will this add Uranium and Platinum back from vanilla nerf to planets? I'm sure it's in the description somewhere but I am tired and terrible with technology so ELI5 please lol.

I want it to be real like Uranium and Platinum exist on planets but you have to dig deep for it.

No, it doesn't. You're confusing this mod with another one of my mods - Vanilla Ore Distribution. And that mod does it very much intentionally. It's also expanded on in that mod's description.

This mod makes all asteroids contain the same 5 resources : silver iron nickle ice silicon.
I mean every single asteroid, you won't find anything else.
Makes space mining and asteroid exploration kinda useless...
