    *************
    To make compatible with INDUSTRILIZATION MOD, just *delete* my "biomes" folder from my mod. That is all you have to do. This will make it so ore spawn does not increase, but you get all the other benefits and you get to run Industrialization.

    To make compatible with other Ship Mods, delete the "ships" folder inside of This mod!

    Furious Koala: Still need to fix 210 armor files, until then you will have normal armor stats!

    This makes it a lot more enjoyable. I actually made it to the Gamma sector and kept on going. I really look forward to sticking with this mod as Starbound keeps getting updated!

    Brilliant mod, helped me get up the tiers a lot easier. I'd just like to say, however, that there's a tiny bit of a balance error: Coal now provides 1000 fuel rather than 10. A typo, I presume?

    Hey, you should also include that the only way to make the mod compatible with other ship mods is to delete the ships folder or the race's ship folder. Other than that, good mod.

    Thanks for the quick update! The changes in the ore generation are slight but noticeable. I think it's a step in the right direction.

    Unfortunately, after a quick test, it seems that the monster HP is still higher than average. Thankfully, the increased effectiveness of the healing items has balanced this out so far. I know this'll get fixed eventually, so keep up the good work!

      Wow, I cant believe I didn't save the leveling file,(monster HP file) in the right mod. But this time, it's for sure fixed!

      I also fixed ore genreation, other than coal slightly increased on surface, as you dig deeper there is more and more ore.

      Sorry for all the trouble! I need to delete some of the backups I have, gets confusing!

    Played around with a new character for a bit to see the tweaks in action and I have to say this mod makes some aspects of the game a lot more reasonable (especially when it comes to early fuel issues). Some things may be a little TOO easy; for example, I like the 1:1 smelting ratio, but there seems to me an insane amount of ore generated on each planet. One or the other could probably keep an easy, yet fun balance.

    Also, when I play with this mod on, the health of monsters goes up by a factor of maybe 20. I tried uninstalling every mod except this one and got the same results on the same character using the same weapon. Taking this mod off returns the health of enemies to normal.

      Thanks for catching that Monster HP mess up, somehow my main Starbound files got switched to my hardmode files, so when I added the file to change the gun energy levels, it also increased Monster HP. who knows how long it's been like that! Thanks for catching that!

      Also, I didn't change much, more changes will be made later, but I made surface ore spawn a little less, and deeper ore spawn a little more. may still need balancing tho, thanks again!

    Tried it again with the updated mod. No difference. Unsure if the problem would show up if restarted the *entire* game.

    I believe the sequence is supposed to go something like this:
    1) Defeat Dragon King boss, get dragon bone item
    2) Use dragon bone item to get Starmap Upgrade MK4
    3) After using the MK4 upgrade, the recipe to make durasteel bars is supposed to show up at the metalwork station. Along with tier 4 weapons & armours & the durasteel tech upgrade (for future tech 5 lvl weapons & armours).
    4) Make durasteel bars!
    5) ???
    6) Profit! :P

    The problem is at step 3 above - the ability to make the bars does not show up, nor does the durasteel tech upgrade (the weapons, armours, and decoratives do fine). I don't think the problem is with the *recipe*, more with it somehow not being triggered into the metalwork station after the MK4 upgrade. Which is strange.

    And the *only* mod I used was yours. Hmm... Well, since the character wipe & patch is expected tomorrow (at the earliest), I don't think it makes too much sense for me to start/try an entirely new game again.

    Don't suppose you can make a quick (other file) mod to force durasteel bar crafting without any requirements? It'll be a temp workaround.

    Other tidbits:
    The 1:1 ore to bar is generally awesome! However, diamond ores still do 2:1 to make whole diamonds. Was this on purpose?

      That is very strange.. I took out everything to do with Durasteel bars, so it should be default for the game.

      And the dimond ore was intentional. Diamond normally requires 3 ore, but my mod just takes 1 requirement away from everything, but I can change that. and I will force Durasteel bars.

      Sorry for ll the trouble, I truly have no idea why this is happening!

    Great overall! Made my playing experience a lot easier and more fun! :)

    I think the durasteel problem is still around (I'm using whatever version is current as at Jan 18th, started with a new game) - defeated the bone dragon, unlocked the whatever sector, playing in there - but the option to make durasteel bars does not exist anywhere (checked all of metalwork station and robotic crafting table). I am totally locked at this point because the next tech requires it (capture station and so on). Don't know why...

    Also, There seems to be more ores on the surface then the mid levels. Kind of strange. :P Be great if the same amounts on the surface, then crazy lots as you go deeper.

      hmm, i'm not sure why it was messing up. I checked both the recipes for durasteel bars, and they matched up with the normal recipes in Starbound.

      I just deleted them from the mod files, you'll have to craft them the old way, but, I don't know what was making it mess up!
      Thanks for the review!
