I can't believe nobody's asked you yet, but can we expect an update on this? If so, how's it progressing? I miss having your sweet sweet mod.

I second this. I love this mod! I would love to see this updated to 2.0.

Hello, I will certainly update the mod for 2.0 vanilla Factorio when I get time after playing Space Age for a bit.

However I wonder if this mod will have a place in Space Age since there are many new tools to reduce ore usage :
- Vulcanus infinite ore from lava (even through you need a tad bit of Calcite)
- Fulgora scrap mining and recycling being a source of high end items
- Productivity research for expensive items like Steel, Low density structure, Processing units and Scrap recycling
- Quality mining drills using less ore when mining
- Big mining drill using even less ore when mining and able to fit 4 productivity modules
- Foundry built-in productivity on top of 4 modules slots
- Foundry ore melting and casting being more productive than direct ore smelting
- Quality productivity modules having increased productivity

So Deep Core Mining may not be as useful as before. Let me know how you feel ?

While it is true there are many ways to decrease raw resource demand in space age, there are still some finite ore types.
additionally, most of what you mentioned is only available in space age, there are those who would still find this mod very useful for vanilla saves.
I too would love to see this mod continued.

Hello VortiK, I'd be really glad to see your Mod being updated for the new factorio expansion :)

Maybe it's not as necessary with the new options but I'd still love to use it. Probably my favorite Factorio mod. Love the utility, graphics and balance.

I think there's quite a bit that can be done with Deep Core in 2.0, in addition to Space age

• Coal production on Vulcanus
• Stone production on Gleba
• Ongoing scrap production on Fulgora.

One of the main reasons that I use the mod is for ongoing (if slow) production from existing resource patches. And while its easy to just shift and move a site, especially when you get blueprints, Just having a nice trickle of resources is nice.

You could make it so that Calcite, Titanium and scrap mind less slowly, or perhaps have those as options within the config.

None of the comments regarding big mining drill, Foundry, scrap apply to a base 2.0 game without space age.

Regardless thank for creating the mod and considering an update to 2.0 / SA
