- Added 1.6 tag preliminarily for new DLC.

Good. If you understand xml patching, you can easily get the results you want. If you do it wrong, you'll get a black screen of death.

Yeah. I'm a muppet. Turned out I was the culprit. Whack me. I did a couple of changes on this mod for my own personal use. I messed up an XML line in the process. Of course everything works as intended now.

Hello Nicoman.
Many resource mining mods (e.g. drill mods) may not be compatible because they re-modify parts changed by this patch in DLLs.

If you have installed those mods, patches may not work properly. Also, if there are multiple patches that change the same element, the patch of the mod placed higher in the mod list will be processed first, and the patch of the mod placed lower will be ignored. This is the specification of the RimWorld game client.

Unfortunately, adding the mod to my heavy modded game throws all kinds of errors. A fast read through the error log did not reveal a possible solution. Maybe in 2 weeks I got the time to look deeper into the problem. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Hello MadTech. Have a fun!

Excellent

No problem, thanks for the mod and your contributions.

@P4YN Ki
Thank you for report! I'll check soon.

Just a quick note here, RimWorld is spitting out errors about the Manifest.xml Lines 8 and 9 are duplicated. </targetVersions> Shouldn't be causing an issue, but it is causing a lot of spam in the console.

@Thomus
Personally, I think that the existence of Gemstones etc. is valuable as a feature of mods. But technically it is possible.

No bad! Also, the description has been changed with the intention of adding it. No problem. I haven't updated to v1.2.3 yet. The final test is running now.

Sorry I didn't see that it was written in the mod description, my bad. Thanks for answering anyway. I would like to know if you plan to make a patch for the mods adding other ore, like 'Gemstones' (Or at least 'Jewelry') for exemple.

Hello Thomus! Sure!

@Proxyer Its works with "Expanded Materials - Metals" Lite version ?

Update: 24 Apr, 2021

@-LinLao
You are welcome. :)

Thank you!

Hello LinLao.
This mod I made determines the status to expand in consideration of balance. Probably no one is in trouble with this parameter.

If you want to change the parameters, you may want to use this " Deep Scanner Settings ".

There is no option tab in mod options? can't find where to change the size of the vein

Update : 31 Jul, 2020
- Update for 1.2 Unstable build

@Coro
Hello Coro!

I agree. I also felt that the resource coverage was too small, despite the expanded scope of drills with the 1.1 update.

Although the work takes time, there was a problem that the amount of resources that can be collected is small and it is faster to go to the faction base by caravan. I realized on the day of the update release that I could fix them with this mod.

The balance may change again in the future, but I hope this mod makes your RimWorld life fun until then.

hey thanks, i always wondered why they would make the discovery area smaller than the drill area.

Update : 8 May, 2020
v1.0.2
- Added the description about the part that this mod is changing.

add "This mod does not change the vanilla ore discovery rate. Only the size of the vein when it was discovered by the ground-penetrating scanner is changed."

@pgames-food
Thank you!

The misunderstanding was solved and the freeze of my mod was also released. I look forward to working with you. I would like to thank everyone for their worries and support for me. Thank you very much.

Now, I and @岸岛柔乃子 are friends. It was just a misunderstanding, so please do not blame him. Thank you to all Mod users.

hi i can see it again

May 8, 2020
It is still frozen, but after confirming that the content of the DMCA complaint was based on a misunderstanding, a settlement with @岸岛柔乃子 was established. I think it will be released soon.

And there's lots of mods have similar function(like NECEROS's and Jellypowered's growth sync, I saw them chat about this in discord). It's ok to have some discussions and clarification, directly send a DMCA request is not needed.

I think your mod only increase the size of the ore vein instead of increase the chance of discovery and ore vein amount, two mods might be similar, but not all the same.

@岸岛柔乃子
Please use the thread for subsequent communication.

Sorry @岸岛柔乃子.
Spam by your comments, so I deleted the related comments and moved them to this "Regarding DMCA Deletion Request by 岸岛柔乃子" thread.

@NECEROS
Probably, there are people who have misunderstood and submitted the DMCA claim without checking the contents. Awaiting Valve review. (recoment)

What mysterious "other mod" is there? I cannot find it...

I've looked at the code in this mod and it's simple and good. Only assholes DMCA strike. Talk it out or get bent.
