A mod like this (I personally use auto-chart), is still useful for slower computer rigs because the built-in preview does terrain first and ores second and this process takes much longer than just heading right into the map with this sort of mod to make an quick assessment (I've have timed both ways and the time difference is like night and day).

IF, however, the built-in preview had an option to do ores first and terrain second, that would be awesome because I care less about terrain than I do the relative positioning of ores.

I think with ore mods they don't show up on the preview map, so I see how this mod will be useful in that scenario.

Its also worth noting that this mod makes it more difficult to cheese biters from attacking.

Normally I can simply not build radars or venture farther from my starting area for as long as I want and in doing so, I can prevent biter attacks from happening in the early game completely.

With this mod, I cant cheat the biters no more, which is good.

When using RSO, ores and biters won't appear on the map gen preview (which actually kills the entire feature tbh...) so you have to generate the actual map to see where your ores are.
