"Once I have Space Age"
Has this condition been met yet?

Very sorry for the delay! I sadly couldn't pick up Space Age until very recently and it turns out it wasn't as simple as just upping the supported version, as Wube changed the name of rocks. Classic. But it's now up and running.

However, I have noticed that the mod only works for newly generated Huge Rocks. I'm not sure... why. Or if it has always been like that - but since this mod is supposed to be for map gen/early game help, I don't think it's a problem.

By working only for newly generated Huge Rocks, do you mean that loading the mod into an existing game won't find ones currently on the map, but will find one in new chunks when generated?

Just tested it in 1.1.110 with version 0.0.4 and it is that way there. New game without the mod. Explored a bit to the west and found some huge rocks. Saved and loaded the mod. Reloaded the game and the rocks are not marked. Explored to the west and found more huge rocks. On the map these are marked.

Then in that case, if it is working the way it was before, then I'll not use up time investigating.

I'm not sure if there anything that needs tracking for the other planets. Fulgora's ruins are already on the map and pretty big. Vulcanus rocks maybe? But I think all those are useful so it might just litter minimap with bright yellow dots. Maybe Gleba iron/copper bacteria things? Would those be useful to know? Aquila... yeah no point tracking anything there.

The stromatolites on Gleba, source of the iron and copper bacteria, are already on the map with their own color. Granted, you don't know if it's iron or copper until you get there. You also don't know if the "trees" are jellystem or yumako tree until you get there either.

All the volcanic rocks on Vulcanus yield the same thing, just more or less based on size, and they are already on the map as well.

Seems that the only thing the map doesn't help with is which rocks on Nauvis are worth the trip. Everything else, everywhere else, is on the map already.

The mod's perfect. Put a fork in it and turn off the oven.
