About this Mod
This mod adds nodes to your world that have an infinite amount of resources, in exchange for extremely slow mining.
When exploring the world, you can occasionaly stumble upon sealed ores (the ore visually being less exposed than normal ores, compared to ore node, that are more exposed).
By breaking it, you can unveil what under it, either a regular ore block (80% chance), or a node ore (20% chance).
An ore node yeld infinite ressources, but has a numbers of restriction to balance that.
-it's rare.
- it can't be moved by piston.
- it won't drop itseft if struck by explosion.
- and most inportantly, it take 10 time longer to mine.
The idea behind this mod is to give players an alernate way to mine ores, where they can get access to as much ressources as they want, as long as they take the time to find and mine them.
Due to the nodes being painfully slow to mine, it can give an (somewhat) easy access to ores in early game, without disturbing the game balance too much, while easying the mining chore for fully geared players.
Should work with automation mod.
Modded ores arent supported.
Planned features :
-Revamp of some textures, like the lapis one.
-Config files.
-Maybe mod compatibility ? (if possible).
