Resource Spawner Overhaul

by orzelek

Makes resources more sparse than base game. You will need to use trains much earlier to get resources. Game will be more difficult especially with higher enemy settings.

g No Ores Displayed in Map Preview

6 years ago

Hello Orzelek, When using RSO 3.5.1, I noticed that the new map preview feature won't show any starting resources. So, we have to generate the map like the old days to get a good starting seed (Pain in the rear). Can you update RSO to use the map preview feature now in v0.16?

Thanks, VGG

There is no way to do this. Map preview can't run mods.

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=54745 is the thread where Klonan says it's not a bug. Wish there was a way for it to work, but until then maybe there will be an update to Initial Scan or a similar mod to reveal a larger area if someone uses that to determine whether to stay in the map.

i wondered about this, i was actually coming here to see if it was a known issue or i could help look for a resolution, but i imagine, with the way the map preview was designed, there is no way to force it to hook directly into a separate ore-generating mod's map gen function.
