Redistributed Ore 1.1

Redistributes the ore on vanilla planets in random locations and depths.

In the unmodified version of Space Engineers all ore on planets is placed in a checkerboard like pattern that repeats every 5km. This is great for beginners because they will find all the available ores within their spawn zone.

As an experienced player this is quite boring. There is no real need to explore the map to find especially good ore veins. I wrote a program that analyses the original planet data files and modifies them to redistribute the ore on planets.

The original ratios between ores are preserved in this mod. The locations and shapes of the veins are completely random. The depth of the ore is split into 3 different tiers.
Each tier contains 3 depth definitions. Tier 4 is an additional bonus depth that goes down to 450m.

These are too deep for you? Here is a script that makes them more flat:

I did not assign specific ores to specific tiers. Which ore spawns at which depth is random for each location. The deeper and therefore harder to find veins are much larger which makes finding them very rewarding.

If a vein is supposed to start at a depth below 140m the ore patch will start at 140m and take a dive until it reaches the target depth. This ensures that players will be able to find all ore without ore detector mods. One example is shown in the picture gallery above.
For the most hardcore experience I recommend playing without modified detecters. If you want it a bit easier you can use my Ore Detector 2x mod or similar.

I tried to keep the shapes similar sized to the original, only their vertical length can be much larger. Unlike some other ore mods the veins are not flat pancakes but can vary in depth within the same patch of ore. This makes them look more natural. The shapes are procedurally generated and random for each individual patch. Each patch only contains one type of ore.

This mod does not work with other mods that replace the planet generator sbc files, height maps or material maps. It only modifies the planets that come with the game.
My Seams Fixed mod is already included and does not need to be added when this mod is used.
I use different pixel values as the vanilla game to implement the tiers. Scripts like "AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution" will not work correctly since they expect vanilla values.
"Smooth Voxels" will work.

The tool I used to create the new ore mappings is available on my github page.
Only images with a size of 2048x2048 are supported.

You are allowed to use any of my files in your own mods.

Error messages in the log about missing files can be ignored. The game will load these from the original files.

I made a mod that replaces the height maps for the Alien planet. If you didn't know, the Alien planet uses the same height maps as EarthLike. I made compatible version of that mod which you can find here:
Not compatible with Apex Survival Mod! (WIP)

This is fully optional. If you use that mod, put it on top of this mod in the in-game mod menu.
