More Stone, Metals, Gem Mod


My first mod so far. I added a total of about 100 new ore, stone, metals and gems to create more variety. All of them exist in reality as well.

Many hours were spent researching everything with google/wikipedia to keep things somehow accurate (when info was available). However, I am no geologist. So, when some things appear odd to you, please let me know. I am furthermore open to suggestions. Want to see some other specific materials? Just drop me a line, ideally with some sort of source regarding the data.

Big thx to everybody in the forums for helping me out regarding my questions, and to ToadyOne and ThreeToe for creating such a great game.


Important Info:

There are two different versions available:

1) Phoebus Version (https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10415): Tiles for materials are selected to make sense with Phoebus Tile-Set. I tried to keep as much new content as possible in separate files to make merging with existing mods easier. Following steps need to be taken care of:

a) Delete following stones in your file "inorganic_stone_mineral.txt": Bauxite, Cinnabar, Cobaltite, Ilmenite, Rutile. They are now ores and included as amended version in a seperate file. Otherwise you will have them listed twice, which might cause trouble.

b) There is a file called "entity_default_XXXmanually add reactions_realXXX.txt". As the name indicates, it includes the reaction-permissions for the new alloys. Simply add them to your file "entity_default.txt".

c) To activate the mod, a new world must be generated. Works with DF34.X and DF40.X. Not sure about others. But as long as those materials aren't included, you should be fine.


2) Vanilla Version as requested (https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10460): Tiles are selected to make somehow sense with Vanilla DF2014 (and also DF2012). All changes are implemented directly into the vanilla-files. When you have the Vanilla-Version of DF v34 or DF v40 installed, you can simply overwrite them and are ready to go. Otherwise you will have to merge them manually with your existing mods. In both cases the generation of a new world is required.

Have fun.
