is it possible to extract gems instead of ores?

If you mean having the tibtre spread gems instead of ore, then yes you can.

No Cranium, not what he is asking.

Technically you could no doubt BUT you'd likely have to make gems grow or you get the smallest shreds... which already happens when some maps have disabled tiberium/ore growing so my ore generator method turns to crap.

Besides Gems were supposed to be rare and frankly if they grow and spread and come from a extractor... and give more money than normal ore... what would you want normal ore for Confused

I plan putting gem generators into high access areas on maps where it would be hard to keep em under your control.

Well if you read the entire tutorial you will realise

- Ore growth has to increase significantly to get a decent harvestable amount

- Gems will have to grow to gain a harvestable amount

- As Apollo mentioned if you had a gem generator which was buildable it would make normal ore collection pointless

- Also stop posting the same question on 2 forums

Its hardcoded to spawning ore only

IsMeteor is the important tag for generating ore

TiberiumRadius=
TiberiumSpawnType=

only works for art shp debris resources which will not grow

so gems is not possible
