A certain essential mod (one you should absolutely be using no matter what) makes a fairly controversial change to Redbelly Mine. In the vanilla game, Redbelly Mine has Ebony ore at the very bottom. Due to mentions of it being an iron mine, the previously mentioned mod changes all of these veins into iron ore. In order to not lose any Ebony veins, it also changes Northwind Mine into an Ebony mine.
People have had many discussions on whether or not these changes are appropriate, but the most compelling bit of evidence to me is that in ESO Redbelly has Ebony and Northwind has Iron. I like to have consistency across games where I can, so I lean toward keeping the Ebony veins.
There are other mods that make this change, but I figured I'd take a stab at using Base Object Swapper for the first time to handle this myself.
Redbelly Mine Tweak uses Base Object Swapper to swap out the Iron veins in Redbelly with Ebony veins, and the Ebony veins in Northwind with Iron veins. In addition it changes the name of the ore sample you gather to "Ore Sample" and makes it use the Ebony model, value, and keywords.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with just about everything. If you don't use USSEP, you don't need this mod. You also don't need this if you're using one of the other mods for Redbelly Mine's ore (which I recommend checking out) such as:
If you want a comprehensive fix that blends the different ideas together, you can use both of the above and load Another Redbelly Mine Mod after Actual Redbelly Mine Fix OR you can use my SWAP file with the Redbelly Mine changes commented out.

Installation Notes
If you install/uninstall this on an ongoing save, you'll need to wait for a cell reset for Redbelly Mine and Northwind Mine. Otherwise the veins will give you the wrong type of ore.
