Dustless Miners


This mod features five extra tiers of electric miners which have reduced pollution production, but outputs a new fluid called "<ore-name> dust cloud" which can be turned into an item called "<ore-name> dust" and that can be used as a regular ore, but recipes that require the ore take 5 times as much dust as the ore variant. You produce the dust in a chemical plant with water and dust cloud. The mod has a few settings for each miner: mining speed, power usage, pollution, health and dust cloud production, the first 5 are startup settings whilst the last is a map setting, there's also two more map settings which define the speed at which a miner gets updated (Leave them default if you don't want lag)

if they don't already you should make them take water in order to keep the dust down :3 adds balance and a neat logistical challenge.

could also work in favor of your idea of capturing the dust and reusing it

yeah a friend already asked me to add that in, but I literally have no idea how to do it xD
So I don't know if the one I wrote about on the information page, or this one will be what I use.
I will have to think more closely in the future when I understand more about the modding

i would look in to how uranium is processed and use that but trade in water instead of sulfuric acid

how you get more things out of it idk

i also dont know lua or how the object structure works >w< so im only guessing it should work the same

Figured out a hacky (could cause some lag when many miners are present) way to make the one in future plans work.
There is still a few more things I have to fix before releasing the new version.
Though it should hopefully be released before the end of the week.
