LE About respawning ore veins again

[Dominoes666]

I've looked into this one quite a bit and it took me about 20 seconds to come up with something that could make this work, which makes me think that my idea is flawed because surely someone else will have thought of this too.

 

But couldn't someone just make a script that respawns mine cells (via batch files maybe) a certain number of days after a mine has been cleared. And for mines which can't be cleared (the friendly ones) you could just set a consistent respawn rate.

 

I'd do it myself if i knew how to script. No that isn't an invitation to link me to tutorials.

Ore veins already respawn in the vanilla game.

I know but it takes forever, waiting 30 days sucks. Also the timers reset back to 0 whenever you enter the cell. Sometimes they dont respawn on time at all and you go in thinking it's okay but nooooo it hasn't spawned and the timer just gets reset.

Ah, I see... The only mods I know of are mods that make them never run out.

I see something that MAY allow them to reset earlier than the default respawn cycle. It would need to be tested first. If it works, I'll probably add it into my Random Mining mod's collection of script versions.

That'd be cool if it works, i really prefer mining my own ores and its kinda immersion breaking when i have to fast travel between cities just buying all the ingots when i want to raise smithing.

I took a look into this and so far it is a no go. I've been able to reset the graphics so that it no longer looks depleted but the activator is being stubborn...
