Outdated Ore Distribution Configurator 2014.02.18

Utility to make changing ore distributions easier

  1. Leyic
    For Beta v. Enraged Koala.

    Important: This is not a simple drag-and-drop mod. Python3, and the knowledge of how to open and save .csv files are required. Knowing how asset files relate to oredistributions.configfunctions will help, but is not necessary.

    This is a tool consisting of two Python3 scripts that can convert the oredistributions.configfunctions asset file into a set of .csv files and back again. Each .csv file corresponds to a single threat level, and contains the ore distribution table sorted by 'depth'. This allows for a different, and potentially easier or more intuitive way, of changing the frequencies by which various ores appear in your game. This does not affect the distribution of dirt, sand, stone, etc.

    Detailed instructions are included in the readme.

    Notes: There are five depths you should be concerned with (from shallowest to deepest): surfaceOres, deepsurfaceOres, depth1, depth2, and depth3. The other tables are either rarely used or not at all. The ores lead and sulphur do not appear to be complete; setting their values to be non-zero may lead to game instability.
