Deep Mine mod version 0.2.1

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 :-)

New features in 0.2.1

• ✔️ Increased ore stack size to 100
• ✔️ Fixed bug from 0.2.0 where placing an autominer would crash the game

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

Compatibility

With existing saves

• This mod is compatible with existing saves. However, users should be careful when reload 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.
