Gold & Silver Ingots

This is my first mod in Rimworld so let me know what you think, and give it a thumbs-up if you like it :)

I started on the mod simply to learn how to mod in Rimworld so i know there are other ingot mods out there. I however tried to make it a bit different so its not just the same mod.

Overview

Custom made textures. Melt gold & silver into ingots. 100 gold = 1 ingot = 1000 silver market value. 100 silver = 1 ingot = 100 silver market value. There are options for x10 bulk melting. Also melt ingots back to silver or gold. New research: Gold & Silver Ingots. Save space & Gain beauty.

Normal silver has +6 beauty when on the ground. Silver ingots have x3 = +18. Normal gold has +20 beauty when on the ground. Gold ingots have x3 = +60.

Normally the Empire's tribute collector caravans only buy gold for honor, But they do love the beautiful gold and silver ingots. So you can now trade raw gold and both gold and silver ingots for honor. Normal gold = 0.015 honor, (Value 670s for 1 honor). Gold ingot = 2 honor, (Value 1000s for 2 honor). Silver ingot = 0.05 honor, (Value 2000s for 1 honor).

Ingots are too soft, valuable and beautiful to be used for crafting and building. So you CANNOT use them for crafting and building unless you melt them back to raw gold or silver.

This was done because i wanted ingots to take 100 gold or silver to make and not 10. If a ingot cost 100, and you try to build a wall with it, it normally only cost 50 silver, so it will pump up the value to make a wall to 500 silver as it cost 5 units of a resource (metal, stone, ingot etc.). And again i also wantet to make the mod a bit diffrent :)
