The guaranteed local spawns, like the geysers from Aquilo spawn right at the start, as do sulfuric geysers and calcite. Optimally I'd like to enjoy this mod as a 'get all navius stuff done then get the new resources, farther away' as the new science layout intends, but these starter bits are kind of annoying and not removable in the editor. thank you.

Hey man, I totally get your point, I'm the same way, whenever it's not possible through normal options, you can always use the console to remove resource patches manually, if you just set the map resources you want to find later on very low frequency you should somewhat get your desired outcome. Careful though, I once put the Krastorio 2 specific resource on lowest frequency and I only found 1 single spawn super far away so....
