Ore Consolidation for BZ/Planetfall/Trikop/Timeken Mods


Too many different ore patches from all your mods got you down? This mod consolidates ores from BZ mods, Planetfall's mods, Trikop's mods, and Timeken's mods into a smaller number of "raw" or composite ores, which can be crafted into whatever ores you need. Built-in support for Space Exploration's core mining.

Changelog

Version: 2.0.2
Date: 2026-1-12
  Changes:
    - Hydrocarbon recipes updated for 2.0, except the one that outputs more MJ of fluids than it has in ingredients. And the ones that add gas as an output to stock oil filtration, because I decided they should be optional and then forgot about them.
    - That includes the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis recipes, available only for those using bzcarbon (with carbon black turned on) and Krastorio 2 (or K2SO... probably).
    - Sulfur and natural gas can now be consolidated.
    - More conditionals on various recipes so that hopefully everything will work no matter what combination of supported mods are installed. Hopefully.
    - Fixed code oversight that could have caused graphite deposits (and hopefully nothing else) to be removed when they weren't supposed to be upon loading a save.
-------------------
Version: 2.0.1
Date: 2026-1-3
  Changes:
    - Forked by Morganite, updated to Factorio 2.0.
    - Dependencies on Krastorio 2, Space Exploration, and others have been reworked and removed; this mod should function with any combination of supported mods. Boblib dependency added to do some of the heavy lifting on recipe changes.
    - Byproduct amounts have been lowered significantly for many sorting recipes, and can also be turned off entirely.
    - Smelting tweaks have been removed.
    - Ore sorting time/time cost is now configurable.
    - Copper sorting is enabled from the start if Brass Tacks is installed.
    - Gold ore sorting is disabled when both BZ Noble Metals and Space Exploration are installed to match design intent. (That is, it will be once gold consolidation is supported at all.)
    - Other minor adjustments.
Version: 1.5.3
Date: 2024-01-09
  Changes:
    - Fixed more softlocks: bismuth, tantalite, and tungsten ores are craftable in burner chemical plants.
    - Absorbed cobaltite ore into raw lead ore.
    - Refactored code to recognize the split of MetalsForYou into its component submods.
Version: 1.5.2
Date: 2023-12-06
  Changes:
    - Hopefully fixed flake graphite softlock by changing recipe to "basic-chemistry", so it should be
      craftable in the burner chemical plant.
    - The catalyst overlay in the catalyzed petroleum gas cracking recipe is no longer absurdly gigantic.
Version: 1.5.1
Date: 2023-12-03
  Changes:
    - Graphite production from coal is now properly unlocked by graphite processing research.
    - Fixed more missing localizations.
Version: 1.5.0
Date: 2023-12-02
  Changes:
    - Uranium ore is obtainable now! How on earth did I miss this for so long?!
    - The optional smelting and casting ratio changes will now apply to tungsten ingots even if 
      the sintering option is enabled.
    - Added compatibility with GasGasGases to optionally extract radon from raw uranium ore.
    - Added a startup setting to swap the raw iron and raw copper ore colors, which makes them
      less realistic but closer to the Factorio defaults.
    - Fixed various missing localizations.
Version: 1.4.6
Date: 2023-12-01
  Changes:
    - Zircon is now actually obtainable from stone, regardless of settings in BZ Zirconium.
    - Chromite, indite, tantalite, and limestone core fragment recipes are hidden and no longer
      unlocked by core mining tech.
Version: 1.4.5
Date: 2023-12-01
  Changes:
    - BZ Titanium, BZ Tin, and BZ Silicon are now optional dependencies.
    - The mod now correctly handles rough diamond ore if the BZ Graphite and Diamonds 
      diamond mining setting is enabled. It is extractable from raw rare metals, or obtainable
      as a core mining byproduct.
Version: 1.4.4
Date: 2023-11-30
  Changes:
    - The changelog exists again.
    - BZ Tungsten and BZ Zirconium are now optional dependencies.
    - Chromite ore sorting recipe is now unlocked by the Chromium processing tech.
Version: 1.4.3
Date: 2023-11-30
  Changes:
    - Brass Tacks, If I Had A Nickel, Bismuth, and Manganese are now optional dependencies.
      More mods may be made optional in the future, to give players more flexibility.
      However BZ Lead, BZ Aluminum, and probably a few others cannot be made optional.
Version: 1.4.2
Date: 2023-11-30
  Changes:
    - The changelog exists now.
    - Combines modded ores and fluids into fewer ores.
    - Settings added for disabling parts of the mod.
    - No longer crashes when carbon black from bzcarbon is not enabled.
