Option to configure units in ore.

[dodgersfan2134 2]

We now have small, poor, normal and rich ores that have units of 10,15,25, and 35. 

 

I was testing out a panning, which I have never used before, and it occurred to me that only needing 10 small ore to make a tool seemed like a low amount. It would be really cool if you could change that with the TFC options. 

 

If a small ore was 1 unit, it would generate 64 units in a vessel. Forcing you to make a forge to completely fill a mold. Your first mold. I think that's kinda neat. Being able to configure options like this would make cooperation among players and ingots more valuable. 

 

I guess it would also be a good idea to be able to pan more then 50 times at a chunk. This is relevant to sluices as well. 

 

What do you all think? I think this would be AWSOME!

Would be interesting to have as an option. I am having enough time getting 20 pieces of copper for my Pros. pick and my pickaxe. But it would be a cool addition to the game settings and would need to be seperate from the different levels (peace,easy, medium, hard) and have it's own place to be selected.

 

And do sluices stop working after 50 uses or would they work consistantly. I wouldn't go through all the work of setting one up when I could just use a pan in the same amount of time.

I guess that it can be nice as a setting, but I would not change the default 10 for small. I am not a gold panner, I am an explorer and all my tools are made of small nuggets I get on the ground.

You do remember that a vessel has 4 slots, right?

Even if small ores only give 1 unit, one vessel should be able to give 256 units of metal.

And you can melt all ores in the vessel, not just small ones

 

Ok I'm an Idiot. I forgot ores only stack up to 16, meaning you can only have 64 max in a vessel.

Just.... Ignore this

And sluices are not in the game yet

Except that ores only stack up to 16, not 64.

Why the need to separate form different levels? I say keep the "settings" flat across, simple that way. Imagine just a list in a the config with = signs where you can fill in the value.

 

Pans only work 50 times per chunk. You can't craft sluices right now, they're doing some work on them.

Damn I keep on forgetting that.

am I an idiot or what? :I

 

So, we need to make a charcoal pit before we get anything metal. hmm, that could be nice

Would something like this be trouble with the bloomery and blast furnace?
