i [DONE] Programmatically find and support ores

(updated 3 years ago)

VortiK, rather than having to individually add support for each resource type, could you just change the code to programmatically add them? I mean, you should be able to just iterate through data.raw.resource and then check all of their various parameters and then specifically exclude if needed. This way you don't have to keep up on updating the mod if other mods add more resources....

Hello, yes indeed ! However that would require a bit of refactor of the mod code. I also fear there would be many incompatibility and somewhat concluded that manual explicit support bit by bit to be safer ... and there's quite some of the main mods already supported.

I can think of some mod that were an headach to support of like Dirty Mining and Prospector that may be hard to keep support of.

I'll keep it in mind if I get some more time on the mod, thanks for the tip !

Hello, I've managed to make this work in 2.9.0. There was some complexities to properly detect ores but it works ! There's some exceptions to do still but code is lighter and now works with all mods !

Thanks for pushing this idea :)

Are mod authors able to mark their ore to not be deepcored, or do you have to do the blacklist of your end?

Hello JamesFire, there is no blacklist for now in the mod, there never was a need for it so far :D

This could be added, for which mod ?

2 years ago

The mod is one I am currently developing.

The mod name is James-Oil-Processing, and the resource I want ignored is VPE-tarsand.
