Instead of the usual iron, steel, gold, etc. Wouldn't it be awesome to have tens of hundreds of different types of ores and minerals? I think it would. Like for example: You could find something on another planet that resembles iron but would have different benefits! Or just something completely different in general! On different alien planets it would be pretty interesting and fun to find different alien ores and then be able to craft many different things out of them. Kind of like how the recently announced NPC system works, the ores could be common, uncommon, rare, extremely rare, have something to do with pop-culture, and they would most likely be randomly generated so there would easily be thousands of different ores to collect and craft with! Wouldn't it be cool to find a red and yellow spotted stone that you could make some type of armor with? Or say a greenish red glowing stone used for weapons! Tell me whatcha think!
Well there will be a 100% chance of having that in game cause no one want's a single block or material to work with for the entire game. The ores you mention are quite nice and reasonable but this isn't a really original idea but I like your enthusiasm. Try to be more creative with your mind, be more independent with your ideas even if they're stupid (Don't worry, I posted about something called Space Coffee a while back). The more creative, the more interesting to read. I like the part about ores being part of the culture, really like that but try making a thread about a single specific ore with some awesome capabilities and with some depth. It would be awesome after that. I would really like to read your content in the future but please, add more SPAZAZ (Creativeness in a sense and I'm hoping for the phrase to catch on) ! Okay?
