Hmm. Interesting stuff going on here. Why would a mineral mod want its own tileset though?
Also, I do have osmium and iridium in my mod (and osmiridium and iridiosmium, though under different (and awful) names), as well as peat fuel and a certain ceramic byproduct from pig iron and steel smelting that could be reasonably passed off as slag. Just sayin'.
Good afternoon!
I'm very familiar with your excellent mod, Sean. I used it as a base for my own, and documented the specific inclusions in detail. There were a few areas where I disagreed with your implementation, however, and either felt that other modders (such as Deej) came closer to my own vision, or that I needed to take care of things myself. This is in no way to diminish your ground-breaking (pun intended) work. I started this mod mainly for my own use, so there were a number of things I just wanted to get done MY way.
That said, once the beast is all finished and posted, I'm happy to let folks pick it apart, re-jigger it, and swap it all around for their own purposes. The only concern I have is that proper credit be given to the original creators of the various pieces I incorporated (as well as the things I actually created myself).
The tileset design is also a personal goal, since I never could find one that entirely suits me. Many come close, but I hope that the one I've cobbled together is as good (and appropriate) as I can manage. Time will tell.
While I'm on a bit of an enforced modding hiatus (PC being rebuilt) I'll be happy to entertain suggestions or comments, though of course I can't guarantee that I'll have the skill or energy to incorporate everything.
