General
Auroresource expands on the renewability of resources, adding new ways of acquiring most of the vanilla base resources to both increase the ease of acquiring them en masse in the late game, and ensuring that their supply can never actually be completely exhausted.The Aurora
The simplest and most readily available material source added by Auroresource, and the source of the mod's name, is the Aurora itself. While "salvage of intact portions of Alterra vessels is prohibited at legal, moral and technical levels", a bit of Architect-based modification solves the latter, and Alterra is not exactly around to enforce the former. As a result, when equipped with a jailbroken laser cutter, you can now cut scrap ("Metal Salvage") directly off the Aurora's hull, allowing for a fully renewable source of titanium, and without extensive searching for deposits just to do basic base building.
Mineable deposits
The oceans of 4546B contain multiple mineral-rich motherlodes in various locations. All of these can function as effectively-infinite sources of some material types, with the specific location dictating which types can be obtained and with what rates. These motherlodes include the meteor in the Dunes, which is full of metals, especially ones not typically found on planetary surfaces, and the dome in the lava pit, which contains several crystalline resources like quartz and even traces of kyanite.
All deposits can only be harvested with drilling equipment, necessitating a prawn suit and drill arm.
Configuration Settings
This mod contains several config options to modify values and behaviors - such as for balance or server safety concerns, or simply personal taste - to your preferences. Note that several settings may have bounds imposed on their values, either logically or explicitly; these can usually be seen in the actual settings files or ingame. These are listed in order found in the source code, which is generally the order in which they were added; They may be present in a different order ingame or in the configuration files.The settings for the mod, when installed, can be found in the mod's install folder.
