Deep Mine mod version 0.2.4

The goal of the mod is to enhance sub-surface gameplay and make it worthwhile to build structures and explore deep below the surface. Personally I find the surface (placer) mining mechanic of the game to be the weakest gameplay loop in an otherwise amazing game. I'm striving to make mining in Stationeers a more enjoyable experience :-)

Changes in 0.2.4

• ✔️ Support for latest game version 0.2.3773.18265, which is the latest version as of Jan. 16, 2023 (all credit to @ThndrDev for this support)

Existing features

• ✔️ No more lava/bedrock texture at unrealistic depths
• ✔️ Doubled GPR (ground penetrating radar) scan radius (configurable)
• ✔️ Lowered bedrock depth - default 4x deeper than vanilla (configurable)
• ✔️ Increasing ore yields the deeper you go
• ✔️ Faster drilling speeds (configurable)
• ✔️ Larger ore stack sizes (configurable)
• ✔️ Configurable mining tool completion time and mine amount
• ✔️ Configurable maximum ore stack size

Compatibility

With existing saves

• This mod is compatible with existing saves. However, users should be careful when reloading modded saves in vanilla as any items/structures below the vanilla bedrock depth will be deleted

With other mods

• Not sure about this one, but I'd be hesitant to run this mod with any other terrain generation/ore rebalancing mods.

Deep Mine mod version 0.2.3-beta.1

As of 04/20/2022 This build is for the beta branch update of Stationeers
Running this on the stable branch will not work/likely make the game unplayable!

Changes in 0.2.3-beta.1

• ✔️ Support for the beta branch/refactor from RocketWerkz (Thanks to Risu in the Stationeers Discord)
• ✔️ Tweaked mining speeds as the beta appears to have sped them up significantly
• 🔨 Fixed issue where split ore stacks would be re-capped to 50. (Credit to @fritzr for this.)
