A simple mod that adds fire clay to the panning drop table. It does not replace or alter the drop chance of blue clay (or any other drop).
The intent behind this mod is to add an alternative way to acquire fire clay (needed for bloomeries and refractory bricks) for players living under extreme temperatures (Scorching deserts or icy poles, which don't generate with clay), as the only other way would be to break vessels, which are sparse and limited.
Fire clay drop chances are the same as blue clay (0.03 in code, effectively 3%).
This mod should work with any other mod without causing crashes, and most likely will work with any previous or future version of the game.
As it is my first mod, if you notice any mistakes or errors, I'd be happy to take a look at it and make adjustments. Feedback is welcome.

Can confirm still works as intended as of 1.18.5
Corvie and anyone else wondering
mod still works as intended as of 1.18.2-rc.4
Will this work as-is in 1.18?

Two problems: 1) How would the game determine order? Dictionaries are not indexed. 2) If it did work like that then 100% drop rate would prevent anything else from dropping and that's not the case.
It essentially works like a weighted wheel, where if the total value adds up to less than 1, it fills the rest of the slots of the wheel with null slots (landing on these gives no item)
Adding extra items will override the null slots. It's built to be expandable. If the total value adds up to be more than 1 then the wheel will simply get bigger to compensate.
Oh, I was told on the discord modding channel they did influence the other drops ( ibb.co/H2dzDCQ ). I'm confused now.
Just so you know the way the panning drop table works, since a null drop is considered in the weighting, adding new drops WONT reduce the drop chances of other items.
The only time the values change is if the weighting of all the drops exceeds 1, in which case the null drop will be 0% so the other drops will need to be reduced to make room.
fire clay technically isn't needed for bloomeries in extreme climates since it's still possible to find merchants that you can buy fire bricks from, but otherwise the description is still accurate for refractory bricks (and clay ovens!).
