Is it intended that during generation, the large cracks are generated with 3-5 of them all on top of each other?

Screen shots here don't seem to be supported, tossed an example here: https://ipoopexcellence.com/odd_generation.jpg

Hello, yes this is an intended feature to have clusters of cracks when generated up to about 5. The reasonning is to justify building an extraction outpost and its logistics for more than a single extractor.

Alright, that makes sense, it seems like some are too close though, as in a big drill might not be able to go on all of them, but I'm not that far yet to know for sure. Even if that's the case though, being able to use 3-4 of them will produce A LOT from my memory of using the mod years ago so it's fine. Thanks for the quick reply in any case!

To correct myself, the cracks are not overlapping. A large miner can indeed fit on them all, in case anyone was wondering about it that reads this in the future.

If it helps, You can pipette the advanced drill in the research tab and use the blueprint ghost to see it if fits.

Yup, that's exactly how I realized the generation was fine once I tried to actually use them.
