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.

b Resources patches seem to be shifted slightly.

So I've noticed that there are "chunks" missing out of the resource patches that are remarkably similar to nearby bodies of water. It's almost as if the generation was shifted slightly from the location where it was "supposed" to be.

I've noticed it's not always shifted to the west as shown in my screenshot. it seems to be shifted towards the direction of the starting area. So, resource patches to the south are shifted north. Resource patches to the west are shifted east, and so on. Also, it seems to get more pronounced as you get further away from the starting area.

I can provide more screenshots if you like. Screenshot was made using 5.0.17 on Factorio 0.17.66 b16866

It's an interesting case. I don't recall seeing those... but it might be caused by small trick RSO is using when spawning patches. Can you provide a map string or save file so that I can take a look?
It seems like for some reason collision avoidance algorithm is not resetting properly which leads to what you are seeing. And offset you see would be equal to 1 chunk in any direction.

I generated a fresh save file with minimal mods from this string and used creative mod to generate most of the map:

Thanks for the save and map string.
It was a tricky one but should be fixed in 5.0.19.
