OreGolems² V.0.1.7 (Beta, New Developer, Now 1.20/1.20.1) 

Ahhh, hahaha, okay i misunderstood you there! well, sure, i could add that ^^ SniperGecko

To clarify; the respective ore idea was a chance of; in addition to any normal spawning :)

Sounds pretty cool, especially that core mechanic-> i'll definetly write that down, for when i start implementing the new mechanic. Im not sure about the spawning only in the respective ore, but i'll think about it. Thank's for taking the time to share your ideas! SniperGecko

A few ideas for ya since you'd be more than happy ;)
If you make the change to legs, arms, torso and head; each lending itself to the loot-table and overall health and damage (copper head and copper legs? 50% of loot will be copper)
Surround a part with 6 bits, a borax and a temporal gear to change material maybe?

Furthermore, requiring a "Golem Core" or something akin to that, then you could go with a multi-path.
Just the core with legs, arms, torso and head? Normal golem.
Core surrounded by ancient clay? Ancient golem.
Core surrounded by 8 stacks of rot? Corrupted Golem
Core surrounded by Temporal Gears? Seraphim Golem (glows, friendly, attacks any rot-creatures within 4 blocks or so but not animals) Healed with matching bits to its body parts

Lastly; chance of golem spawning from cave-in of respective ores?

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, it really means a lot! I’ll definitely implement the underground spawn mechanic and ensure it doesn’t disrupt drifter spawning. I’ll also address the other issues you mentioned, especially the ease of acquiring resources early on. Your suggestions have been incredibly helpful since im not always actively playing this game, so thanks again! :) And thank you, WarpStory, for setting things in motion for the underground spawning.

Tested the update a bit and I will say that the number of wildlife has increased, however the Golems still feel like they are the main creature that spawns. I would say there is at least 10-12 or so Golems per animal/animal grouping since Chickens often spawn together and Pigs sometimes have Piglets with them.

I did see a racoon, 2-3 bunnies, 3 groupings of chickens of around 3-5 each, 4 groups of pigs, 2 with piglets which made the group around 5 pigs, however, I use the Stone Age animal mods and I could not find a single related animal within probably 1.5-2k blocks. No wolves, no bears, no foxes, no birds of any type, no rhinos, nothing.

Along with my observations of animal to golem ratio, I would agree with warpstory that they still make mining less relevant, specifically for the early game. Earning your first copper tools is a big milestone and you are generally supposed to be using that copper wisely to secure a stockpile of Copper to enter the Bronze age, however with all the Copper golems running around once you get your first copper pick it is quite easy to acquire enough to make it pointless to mine for it, not only that but there is enough Zinc golems walking around that they making getting into the Bronze age too easy. Zinc is often hard to find for a lot of players and letting them boost through to the Bronze age so easily, in my opinion, kind of spoils the early game for anyone using the mod, especially new players.

The generous amount of black and brown coal also makes charcoal less relevant and doesn't encourage players to use the charcoal pit mechanic and the salt golems do give a little too easy access to salt which is supposed to be a rare material that you pray you find while spelunking or you pray a vendor has some halite you can grind.

The last thing is that the golems are altogether too easy to kill, most players have learned or will quickly learn that throwing spears is highly effecient and kiting the golems makes them a non-threat unless you get too close to them or foolishly try to pick up your spear(s) before its dead.

I think that perhaps an even lower spawn rate and possibly doing what was suggested, putting them only underground, would make it better as the player will have to risk fighting aggressive drifters while hunting the golems, who now in a tighter space have a far better chance of being a threat to the player knowing that the player could be ambushed by drifters or fall into a pit while backing up and tossing spears, of course the concern of what that could do to the drifter spawn is something to consider seeing as before it decimated the animal population so it might also replace drifters spawning.

Thank you for your feedback, Paradoxal warpStory. I will reduce the spawn rates further. For now, I plan to allow them to continue spawning in the overworld, rather than exclusively underground tho.

The spawn rate is so high that it essentially deletes all other possible wildlife. I saw like 3 chickens and a pig while looking around and saw probably 60 ore golems.

The mod is cool, but without fine tuning it way more you either get ores or you get animals, you can't seem to have both.

Spawn rate is too high imo, pretty much makes ore mining irrelevant. I'd suggest only spawning them underground as well

Hey, well, the 1.4 version of this mod requires it for the tameable aspect to work, and I don't know if it would lead to errors or crashes if you don't install it alongside oregolems. So, I recommend installing it. SniperGecko 

To clarify; does this mod require PetAI or only if you want the tameable aspect?

I want to confirm that their spawnrate is through the roof - I made a new world, I have a bunch of animal mods, and everywhere I turn it's golems. They're cute! I want to keep them! But they're EVERYWHERE. Looking forward to the next update!

Yes, I plan to nerf them again in the next update. I misjudged the optimal spawn rate, so I'll eventually add a config file to let you adjust it yourself. But first i'll just nerf them :) RagingLoony

Any chance you can nerf the spawns a little? They are littering every field a come across constantly lol

The Tin Golems has the same hitbox than all the other golems, despite being a lot larger.

As such, you need to aim between its legs to actually hit it. Because otherwise, your weapon will phase through its torso and head without dealing damage.

Works for 1.19.8. I would like to request a config file though- I would like to increase the spawn rate and/or drop rates of certain things (salt and limestone).

Seems to not be compatible with mods i use.

Maybe this helps figuring out why they dont spawn. Let me know if you need more info.

Armon thank you

OMG I would love to have a little golem buddy in my house. Is there any way to tame them? 

Wizard76 Yes, it does work in 1.19.3

Screwy thanks for the hint. It will be fixed in the next update

I want to ty this mod out. Does it work in 1.19.3?

Hey there! Thanks for the mod, it's a really cool and fitting addition to this game.

For most people it is totally irrelevant, but there is a small bug I discovered.

The golem's creature item is still using old texture names,

so in the inventory they look ugly and all the same. 

Other than that, everything works fine and seems quite balanced. 

Been using this for a while, and since I was still seeing them in game, I never knew it needed an update. But thanks! (Also, don't know why this mod isn't getting more attention, it's a pretty neat way to get ore so far.)
