Veinity Project

Want to change the buffer sizes on miners? Ever say "oops, I meant to put resources on infinite." Want to experiment with having all veins work like Oil ones- or want to actually be able to run out of oil?

Or maybe you just want that Texan fever dream where a single mkII miner can harvest every oil node on a planet when combined with with my other mod, LazyOutposting.

This and maybe more is all possible when you completely rewrite MinerComponent's internal update to support a more loose definition of everything- and stop locking the entire vein pool in the process.

That's right, if you don't touch our settings, we're actually a QoL optimization mod like Re-Buffer! In particular, planets with a lot of miners and oil pumps will see a... well, like, 0.05ms increase. But they're also a lot more friendly to heavier multithreading and thus could see more of a gain in the future.

Changes

• v0.2.6 Actually Working fix for game version 0.10.29.22010 lol (ref var is ref, duh)
• v0.2.5 Fix for game version 0.10.29.22010
• v0.2.4 DarkFog update; Swapped out a magic number for a source-reference.
• v0.2.3 Added guard so VFPreloader running twice doesn't error
• v0.2.0
  • Actual support for JinxOAO's SmelterMiner
  • Theoretical support for similar "mining x produce y" concepts
  • Integrated Push-To-Station into our InternalUpdate code

Mechanical changes compared to vanilla

• Item output ALWAYS piles up to 4 if available rather than batching to a tier 3 belt's speed.
• Vein pruning is done the tick after a vein is emptied rather than only when the vein is selected as the target vein and found empty.
• Vein count/amount speed contributions are calculated based on a rolling snapshot rather than a forced-serialization for any shared veins.
• StationComponent is pushed to by MiningComponent rather than pulling from later in the tick.

Compatibility Notes

• SmelterMiner by JinxOAO is fully supported.
  • Uses current smelting recipe ratios.
  • Type A supports all normal and Kimberlite smelting
  • Type B supports all alternate and Kimberlite smelting
  • Type C supports Frac-Si, Fire Ice, Oil, and Spin-Cry "smelting"

Known Issues

• Miner UI does not "update" to an N/s value when in Diminishing Mode It's roughly 25000 vein value per 1/s output. At some point I'll dig into how to change the UI for it. That is what's needed to hit v1.
