Freight Forwarding


A small overhaul with a focus on long-distance logistics variety. Transport containerized items across land and sea using trains and ships! First, venture to the edge of your starting island using trains to find lead, then set sail for offshore oil using tanker ships, dredge metallic nodules from the seabed, and recover titanium from other islands. Finally you'll be transporting materials to faraway lava pools to smelt titansteel, an essential ingredient in rocket parts.

b [Fixed-1.6.2] Missing lead ore

1 year, 29 days ago

Hello,
Thanks for this very interesting mod.
I've started a game with default setting, and I think I'm missing lead ore on starting island.
Here is the map string: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Wohlraj/8870201a18bc865705437443df5f6cd5/raw/4ec38f675fb80b3a70a10d2d3babf6e369fbb52e/mapstring.txt
I don't see any difference when trying the latest 1.5.0
Am I missing something?

Ahh I thought I’d fixed that in 1.4.2 :( I’ll investigate further later this week. For now, use https://mods.factorio.com/mod/resourcehighlighter-dark to confirm, and if it is indeed missing, then you’ll have to spawn some in using /editor or restart.

Hello, I've entcountered the same problem. Started playing version 1.5.0 on default resource frequency setting, spent several hours and ran the whole island to find that damn lead. Then I tried to restart the game with the the same map string and realized there's no lead on it. :-D
Here's the map string:

I also had this happen to me, however my dad also playing the same mod didnt get the issue, the main difference is he doesnt play with cliffs. Not sure if that helps?

Don't think so - I had removed them too.

I'm having the same issue.

Thanks for the reports everyone, unfortunately resource generation is very fickle to work with, but I'll try my best. If you've got more seeds or map exchange strings, that will probably be helpful.

Hey, Xorimuth, I'm the one you were talking to on KoS's discord earlier today. This is my seed I was missing lead in. Thanks for making this mod, btw, its great.

Should be fixed now in 1.6.2.

Hi, I had the same problem, mod version 1.7.2. Lead would not generate at all on the starting island, so I got stuck.

I fiddled around a bit and found out that by changing the frequency of lead generation to max and then back to default, I could make lead spawn anyway (i was checking preview).

Hope this helps whoever finds the same problem again. Thanks for the mod by the way, seems cool :)

a couple hours in playing 1.8.3, realized I need a lead repo that is not available in the initial island. :(
