Greetings,

i dont find any Fossil Roots on my new map. When i started with Factorio a week ago i started with v0.16 and a few mods including yours. Within v16 i found many fossil roots areas on my map. Then started the beta with those mods i used before. I have created a new map there was no fossil roots in the resource balance menu thought that it is normal but before i could swear it was their. After playing now for 2 days on this map and scouting i still dont find any roots.

Could there be any conflict with these Mods i use that change the terrain?
Alien Biomes High-Res Terrain - Earendel
Cnc's Sulfur Mod - cncr04s
Infinite Resources - sonaxaton
Toxic Forest - Yehn
and your Fossil Roots.

What you say about this ore generation in 0.16? Did you notice that it was always under the forests?

In 0.17 it's impossible to make the same solution, it comes now near of iron ore patches and can be completely with iron ore overlapping.

The fossil roots were shown on the map as seperate resource area in v16 in V17 is nothing.
So in the end because i use infinite resources i will never find the fossil roots because they are below iron ore.
