This is a suggestion to add compatibility for the ore rocks in Survivalist. It has ore rock items for each of the ores that Railcraft provides, so it would be easy to add a config that makes the poor ores drop ore rock instead of the block if Survivalist is installed.

Can you provide a link to survivalist mod?

@gigaherz It seems you might need to support oredict from your side.

@CovertJaguar I think we can close this one, since this is not really Railcraft's issue.

Should I ask the Survivalist dev about it? not exactly sure what side needs to implement it.
