Ore overhaul: Choosing how many Ore are needed to make an Ignot

I am aiming for realism and customization with this idea...

 

I would like to see a mod that allows me to set (via MCM) how many ore(s) it takes to make an ingot. To take it another step further being able to adjust each material independently would be good (sliders for each in MCM). For example iron may not be as pure of a material as ebony so it would take more ores to make an ingot than ebony would.

 

 

Some additional ideas for a mod like this:

 

The ability to mine quarried stone at any ore vein. My thoughts would be a pop up when you select a vein to mine "Which would you like to mine: Stone / Ore". With the popularity of house mods and such having another way to acquire quarried stone for building would be great.

 

The ability to change the weights of ores via (MCM). Check a box that allows override of current ore and ingot weights then have sliders to adjust weight. This way you can have 10 ore make 1 ingot and make the weights match if you'd like. Or, to simplify, maybe when installing prompt for a light materials or heavy materials or unchanged weights.

 

To get even more detailed (maybe a update later?)

Give ores a purity rating. So have 'Quarter pure', 'Half pure', and 'pure' ores. Give them different mining chances and maybe even make those chances depend on smithing level or location(is this an actual mine or random world vein?). Then make a ingot require X pure ore.

 

Just a few of my ideas to more realism with mining and crafting.

 

Thanks for reading!

I have and love the complete crafting overhaul mod. It does wonders for crafting. It did change the number of ore to make an ingot; 5:1. Maybe I need to update, but I searched that mod and others for a feature that would let me set how many ore make an ignot and I could not find a single mod that does this. Yes some will change that number, but none (that I can find) will allow the user to adjust that number. I have a new item reweight mod and so now my ore to ingot doesn't make sense. I want to change it to say 3:1. I can't do that with crafting overhaul. As far as I am aware it doensnt let me do the other things I mention either. Thank you for your suggestion as that is a fabulous mod!

Strange. I have Crafting overhaul and it does let me do that through the MCM menu, perhaps you should try to update it and start a new game?
