MATTER CONSTRUCTOR
v 0.2.1

Tired of having to go back to tier 1 worlds just to find iron? Tired of finding endless amounts of copper with no diamond in sight? Then this mod is for you!


HOW TO INSTALL
  1)  Download the mod .pak
  2)  Place the .pak in <Steam install>\giraffe_storage\mods


NEW CRAFTING STATION

A tier 3 Matter Constructor has appeared! Amaze your friends with beautifully rendered graphics. May not work on some lower-end computers. (base image courtesy of Janna at opengameart.org, animated by me). It costs 6500px and 50 durasteel at a crafting station or robot crafting station. You can use it to convert pixels into matter.


AWESOME PIXEL TO MATTER CONVERSION
5 pixels     ->   1 coal
10 pixels   ->   1 plant fibre
10 pixels   ->   1 copper ore
20 pixels   ->   1 iron ore
50 pixels   ->   1 silver ore
75 pixels   ->   1 gold ore
90 pixels   ->   1 platinum ore
100 pixels ->   1 titanium ore
250 pixels ->   1 diamond ore
150 pixels ->   1 aegisalt ore
200 pixels ->   1 rubium ore
250 pixels ->  1 violium ore


ADD YOUR OWN RECIPES TO THE CONSTRUCTOR
Mod makers can add their own items to the constructor by creating a .recipe file similar to the following. Just replace 150 with the amount in pixels and 'aegisaltore' with the item name!
{
    "input" : [ { "item" : "money", "count" : 150 } ],
    "output" : { "item" : "aegisaltore", "count" : 1 },
    "groups" : [ "constructable" ]
}

Of course, you'll need to patch in the blueprint for it to show up since I don't know how to add recipes dynamically!


EXHAUSTIVELY TESTED
Over 15 minutes of testing went into this mod.

BUGS

You: "OMG, OMG! THE MATTER CONSTRUCTOR ISN'T SHOWING UP!" 
Me: (Update: I made the recipes all tier 1 for now, so this shouldn't be an issue). This is only an issue on an existing character. If you have already unlocked tier 3 recipes, you'll need to do it again. Unfortunately, Starbound won't give you recipes for a given tier if you've already unlocked that tier. To fix this, just re-craft the mk3 upgrade and use it again. That should work. This will apply for the other tiered recipes that you make on the matter constructor (aegisalt, rubium, etc). You'll need to re-unlock those tiers for the recipes to show. New characters should be fine.
