Extractors! They're an amazing little piece of equipment to passively get Ore while you do other things.
However, I never really liked how long some of these ores took to be extracted (Looking at you, Aluminum)
When I started trying to find Caves only to maybe come out of it with a couple dozen ores of what I actually needed, I started investing in making these little guys.. and then I realized how long they actually took to mine stuff..
Well, no more!
This mod is very simple - it changes the time your Extractors take to complete their cycles to around 10 seconds.
In Vanilla Icarus, extractor times differ depending on what type of deposit you mine, Stone being one of the quickest (Even quicker than my settings) and Titanium being the longest (About 4.5x longer than my settings)
Since I didn't want to mess around too much with times, and to keep it consistent, I decided to change every deposit to the same time. (Note that Biofuel and Electric Extractors still cycle at different times - Check pictures)
- If you feel this is a bit too easy, I can make a different version later on that better represents the value of each ore, but for now, I'm happy with this one.
Always make a backup (Under your Local - Icarus - Saved) of your data just so nothing gets lost.
If you don't know how to install mods for Icarus:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Icarus\Icarus\Content\Paks\mods
Just gotta unpack and drag the .pak file in there, if the Mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
But I highly advise to just use Jim's Mod Manager anyway, it's great.
Currently working on some other mods, but if there's anything that needs work or any suggestions, I'm open to it.
