What it does
bobores 2.1.2 removed the mineable sulfur ore entirely. Bob aligned with Space Age, where sulfur is a chemical product (water + petroleum-gas → sulfur) rather than something you mine — so the ore prototype is gone and the migration wiped every sulfur patch off existing maps.
This mod brings the ore back:
- Re-adds the
bob-sulfurresource with the authentic pre-2.1.2 values (yellow tint, mines straight to vanillasulfur,base_density = 8, no starting-area placement). - Wires it into Nauvis map generation, so it shows up under Resources in the map-gen GUI (and in resource-frequency mods) and actually spawns on new chunks.
- Back-fills your existing save. A one-time
on_initscript regenerates the ore over every already-generated Nauvis chunk, so sulfur appears on the map you have already explored — not only on new territory.
Safe by design
- Adds exactly two prototypes: the
bob-sulfurresource and its autoplace control. - The back-fill is scoped to
"bob-sulfur"only — no other ore is moved, re-rolled, or deleted. - Wired to
on_initonly, so it runs once and never re-rolls your sulfur on later mod updates.
Notes
- Sulfur spawns away from spawn (
has_starting_area_placement = false). - Only sulfur was fully removed by bobores; tungsten still exists — bob just stopped placing it on Nauvis because vanilla Space Age puts it on Vulcanus, so it doesn't need restoring.
- The ore graphic is drawn from boblibrary (a dependency), tinted like the original. Nothing of Bob's is redistributed.
