#Making a new mod for TFG or TFC

I have a few questions about mod development for this modpack:

  1. Can a new block stat for dirt be developed based off of the quantity of metals in the surrounding area?
  2. Could this stat go down from a block on top of it and be transferred to said block?

My idea for said mod would be Bio-Accumulation of metals through flowers and other plants.

#

also where should i go to find info on how to mod this?

  1. No, because ore veins are just randomly placed features, there's no distribution system that keeps track of them
  2. Even if this were possible, I don't see the point of it

metals aren't supposed to be automated

#

this isn't a skyblock pack

It produces 1 aluminum per sometimes but it’s automatic and renewable

These are lengthy, planet (or even biome) locked processes that yield unlimited amounts of basic metals and minerals

#

And for more advanced materials (like those on demand in current tier) there are processing lines allowing one to get maximum value out of an ore

for a bit more context, we don't want to encourage people to just spam infinites for everything because it's boring

#

the stone dust is already pathetically slow

#

and yes we have more infinites on other planets but a) they require more work to get instead of just plonking down 3 machines, and b) you only get a small number of different resources from them

Infinite materials can be also obtained from centriufing various Stone dusts, but it's pathetically slow.
It's like 1 minute per 1 centrifuged Stone Dust to obtain ~33% chance of small dust, so 27 minutes on average luck per 1 full dust per LV Centrifuge. Not worth it, unless you really have a ton of reserve power to do so.

tbh i just place my large miner on a vein and i'm good for that resource for a very long time the only time i ran into resource problems was with tungsten but even that is solvable with a bit of miner placement in the beneath

mars has big tungsten veins!

#

but yeah all of our infinites will be optional

Aha, so that means that a single automation won't take like 10k steel to make pretty much?

I make no promises
