Expanded startarea
Spread out resource placement in starting area. No more overlapping ore patches with normal sized patches.
Features:
- Spread out starting area ore patches
- Smooth patches, with less jagged edges.
- Starting area patches are slightly boosted
- Map gen preset: Sparse Rail World
The changes are applied on all presets for all ore's, except immersite from Krastorio 2 because it doesn't really scale with distance.
Large patches will still overlap and the starting water might still be in the way and delete some patches, just try another seed if that happens.
Some settings try to prevent overlapping of the regular patches outside the starting area. So removal of the mod after savegame creation is not recommended.
Sparse Rail World preset
Settings from Railworld, but
- Size stays at 100% (except fluids 75%),
- Frequency is set to 25% (can be changed in settings)
- Starting area is set to 400%
- Evolution - time factor is set to zero
All settings can, of course, be tuned to your liking after applying the preset.
The mods marked as incompatible have similar mechanisms of their own or simply don't work with this mod.
