How exactly do you mine the meteorites? Is there an event that generates meteorites to fall from the sky?

Post by: Pandora on October 17, 2014, 10:59:15 PM
No new events are added, everything is explained in the Manual. You mine by sending an AstroMiner to an asteroid using the AstroTec Beacon workstation.

Thank you. I have Microsoft visual studio now so I may look into .dll files.

This looks pretty neat, even has some fancy graphics for the workstations.

Hope the manual is detailed, first I've ever seen a Rimworld mod for mining asteroids.

Worth a shot.

I hoped the graphics would have a Fallout look to them. I've tried to be detailed with the manual and cover all aspects of the mod.

- Change the Plasteel need of the buildings and change it into some mineable resources like Silver or Gold. Or reduce the amount of Plasteel.

Plasteel is minable.

Yep it is, but more rare then gold.
Then let at last refine the crates into plasteel. At this way you can have a continous running mining operation and don't need to wait for a trader which may sell plasteel.

You could just suggest for the OP to make it so once you do build the asteroid miner you can eventually have a rare chance you will mine a plasteel asteroid.

It'd be nice to have some additional way to gather resources. Map resources are quite so limited these days.

Plus, recycling those high value clothes you get off raiders.
