[merged] Elementium Churners 1.3 for 1.3

HF is there nothing you can't do? tyvm

I love the reskinned crystal, looks very cool.

Uploaded 1.1. Changelog in first post.

Do you just need to unzip this into your ..\My Games\Elemental\Mods\ folder? 

Yeah

Looks good and works great HF. Good job.

Hey, am I doing something wrong, because the number of deposits is SICK.  I installed the update to it, I know the original mod works, and I know everything is in the right place.  After the update, and within the areas I had explored before turn 30, I had about 7 or 8 deposits discovered already.  There were 3 of them right there as the game began.

I liked that the update was supposed to lessen them a lot, they were too frequent before, but now the number created is by far more than anything else on the map.

Am I supposed to change anything to get VERY FEW of these?

They should be few by default. Make sure you've not got duplicate files of the mod, as that will increase the spawns immensely.

Also make sure that you're running the latest version of the game. They change some things very frequently, and resource spawns was one of them.

I'm having the same issue - no duplicates found and running 1.9.  There are such deposits everywhere!

G.

I think it may be that we don't have a great deal of control over the frequency/spawning of resources currently.

Best regards,
Steven.

Thanks for letting me know there's an issue, appreciate it.

For now, I have no ideas. These are the results I got in amount of spawns on the entire map when I started games

This is on difficulty Extreme.

Victory conditions are Diplomatic and Conquest.

Minor Factions enabled, Spawn monsters enabled, Pacing Fast.

Do your settings differ from those?

Are you playing Elementerra maps?

Elementerra custom map, gigantic (240 X 224), 10 nations.  There are 3 continents, the big one and 2 smaller ones.  I'm sharing one of these last 2 with another nation.  In my corner of that island alone I had 6.  Playing on Hard.

Alright. For Elementerra maps, you need to set the quantity of Desert low. The more % of desert a map has, the more of those things will appear.

That's what I discovered after applying your 1.1 patch and reducing the desert rate.  though it's a shame that a world recuperating from a magical cataclysm can't be full of blasted desert zones.

G.

when new patches come out, will this mod and others break?  Im thinking it might depend on what they change, but since Im trying to test out the game, Im trying to limit outside things that could cause problems...even though I like this mod and others.

It is my opinion that right now, all patches will break all mods. Whether through re-balancing of items or spells, or actually making things that worked nonfunctional is another matter.

This mod will work without updating it, but I will update it nonetheless to cost "used population" like other buildings (and reduce the gildar upkeep). However, that will be after 1.1 is released non-beta to avoid making changes for beta changes that might end up not being the same later on.

KK thanks so much and thanks for all the hoard work on the mods.  You do real good work and if you have a team, give pizza and root beer all around!

Uploaded 1.2, slight rebalance for 1.1

Heavenfall, the 1.2 file doesn't contain any xml or a elementium mine folder, just the graphics.

Ain't that some shit. Uploaded 1.3. Thanks for letting me know.

No problem. 

I really like what this mod adds to the game strategically, but it seems a little unbalanced to not have any tech requirement for it.  Is this due to the tech trees being in flux in 1.1?

(And I know they are not quit balanced, see Empire Crystal mines vs Kingdoms)

I dislike techs for resource-collection. Also, AI have troubles building on some resources if they control it, and then research the tech.

Ah, fair enough, I did not realize there was an AI hole for resources.  Thanks! 

Trying this now and bumping because it took me ages to find thx heavenfall
