Custom Ore Generation mod?
I'd love to see the Custom Ore Generation mod used in the Darklands. It causes ores to form actual veins, to encourage exploration and actual mines, rather than the pick-a-spot-and-stripmine that the default distribution encourages.

It wouldn't work so well in Empire -- but since there are no plans to regenerate Empire, that shouldn't be an issue.
I think this is a bad idea since it makes everything so much easier once you have found a vein, and also it really encourages Xraying.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that.
Well, there is also Big Brother.
Make it hard for those who cheat the system.

Yes, we have mods like that to track it. But
a) I do not want to make the game easier.
b) it's easier to hide that you xrayed if you have the ores in such strings.
Having a custom ore generation mod would ruin the game. It would take some of the fun that is I. The game that you have to find the ore or be surprised when you cut through the rock and boom a diamond. IMO I wouldn't want it on here and even if we could track it and prevent xraying it would ruin the point of the game.
Sent from that apple thingy!
Yes, I see now this was a bad idea for a lot of reasons, lol.
