Thermal And Space
With Thermal And Space installed, ores from the Thermal line can be found on the Moon, Mars, Venus and other Ad Astra planets.
What it does
Thermal And Space is an add-on to Thermal Expansion that places its ores on the planets added by Ad Astra. Each ore is assigned to the planets where it generates: oil shale, apatite, silver and ruby on the Moon, Mars and Venus, cinnabar, sapphire and nickel on Mercury, lead on Venus and Glacio, niter on Glacio and the Moon, and tin on several planets. The mod is needed for the Thermal ore generation on these worlds, and it requires both Ad Astra and Thermal Expansion to run.
The ore placement is written as data, so the planet and ore lists are set in the mod's datapack rather than through an in-game screen. Changing where an ore spawns means editing the placed feature file for the space ore set under the thermal worldgen folder. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Two builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, both for 1.20.1, and the same files cover 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 across the release list.
Key features
Ores on space planets
Thermal ores generate on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Glacio, extending the Thermal material chain into space.
Per-planet ore lists
Each ore has its own set of planets, so oil shale, cinnabar, niter and the others appear only where the mod assigns them.
Editable ore placement
Ore placement is defined in a datapack file, so the planets and frequency of each ore can be changed by editing data.
Silver and tin placement
Silver and tin are placed across several planets, adding metals to Ad Astra worlds that the base mods do not supply.
