SmelterMiner

v1.7.1·Updated 2026-09-27

This new mining machine will mine the minerals and automatically smelt them into the iron ingot, copper ingot, etc. Smelter loses his job:) This new mining machine will also automatically smelt the minerals into first-level products after mining and then output them.

About this mod Machine translation

Smelter Mining Machines (A&B) / Chemical Mining Machines (C) / Refinery Oil Extractor

There are 7 types (A, B and C,and corresponding advanced mining machines A, B, C. And Refinery Oil Extrator.). A and B require "High-strength glass" technology to unlock, C requires "Quantum chip" technology to unlock. Advanced Mining machines A, B, C Requires the same technology that unlocks the vanilla advanced mining machine. Refinery Oil Extrator requires the "High-strength glass" technology to unlock.

There is basically no difference between A and B types, except "When certain minerals can be smelted into different products, A and B machine will smelt them into different products".

For example: iron ore--A-->iron nuggets; iron ore--B-->Magnet".

Type C is designed to replace the functions of mining machines + chemical plants, specifically collecting fire ice to output graphene, and collecting spiniform stalagmite crystal to output carbon nanotubes. Refinery Oil Extrator will output refined oil instead of crude oil.

Some products (such as glass) require 2 raw ores to produce one product. Under these circumstances, the smelter mining machine collects minerals at a normal speed, but only produces glass at a speed of 50%.

For minerals that cannot be processed by the mining machineABC, the function of the new mining machine is exactly the same as the original mining machine.

Work comsumption A/B/C: 2.4 / 2.4 / 4.8 MW (Advanced Machines: 7.2 / 7.2 / 9.0 MW) (Refinery Oil Extractor: 6.0MW)

Idle consumption A/B/C: 60 / 60 / 120 kW (Advanced Machines: 180 / 180 / 180 kW) (Refinery Oil Extractor: 150kW)

Same way type A and B (including advanced A and B) produce the ore(Veins:Output)--Notice: C or Advanced C can't do recipes below--

Copper ore: Copper ingot

Silicon ore: High-purity silicon

Titanium ore: Titanium ingot

Fractal silicon: Crystal silicon

Coal: Energetic graphite

Kimberlite ore: Diamond

Smelter Mining Machine A - Special

Iron ore:Iron ingot

Stone: Stone brick

Smelter Mining Machine B - Special

Iron ore:magnet

Stone: Glass

Chemical Mining Machine C - Only these

Fire ice: Graphene

Spiniform stalagmite crystal: Carbon nanotube

Installation

  • Install BepInEx.
  • Install all dependency mods that this mod requires.
  • Drag SmelterMiner.dll into "Dyson Sphere Program/BepInEx/plugins/"

Mod conflicts

Turn on the UXAssist's "Protect veins from exhaustion" will make the smelter miner work incorrectly.

Problems may arise when other mods that create new items/recipes use the following IDs:

RecipeProto.ID: 452, 453, 454, 472, 473, 474, 475.

ItemProto.ID: 9446, 9447, 9448, 9466, 9467, 9468, 9469.

Problems may arise when other mods that create new items/recipes use the following GridIndex:

2610, 2611, 2612, 2510, 2511, 2512, 2609.

Besides, since this mod changes the function that controlls the normal mining, it may cause some related mods lose their functions (such as infinate mining). This mod provides a way that you can customize your own mining rate (not mining speed) in the config file.

ChangeLog

See the changelog at the end.

Furnace mining machine AB, chemical mining machine C, plasma refining oil well

There are 7 types in total (A, B and C, and corresponding large-scale mining machine versions. And plasma refining oil wells). AB requires high-strength glass technology to unlock, and C requires quantum chip technology to unlock. The unlocking technology of large mining machines A, B, and C is the same as the unlocking technology of large mining machines in the main game. Plasma refining oil wells require high-strength glass technology to unlock.

There is basically no difference between the two types AB, except that "when certain minerals can be smelted into different products, type A and B mining machines will smelt them into different products." For example, iron ore--A-->iron block; iron ore--B-->magnet".

Type C is designed to replace the functions of a mining machine + chemical plant, specializing in collecting combustible ice to …

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
