Information

Resource Labels adds labels to resources on the map with the press of a shortcut. This helps identifying resources that are hard to see on the map.

By default, when labels are generated, it shows the resource icon and the resource name on the map. The mod also allows you to display the resource count. All these features can be configured via Factorio in the Options->Mod Settings->Per Map->Resource Labels menu.

The default shortcut to generate labels is Shift+G, the default shortcut to remove labels is Shift+H. Since the mod scans resources, not all labels will be instantly generated to save UPS. Instead, it happens over time (a few seconds, the more area is revealed on the map the longer it will take).

Configuration

All shortcuts can be edited via the ingame controls menu.
To change resource icons or the resource names, the file config.lua has to be edited. It is not necessary to restart the game after editing the file, but the current map needs to be saved and loaded again.
