Make map gen settings work for resource frequency below 1/6th

Post by Impatient »

Hi Rseding91,

can you please take a look at this:

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=84632&p=492970&hil ... cy#p492970

It seems, that in the map gen settings, the lowest value for resource frequency that works, is 0.16667 (1/6th).

Can you make it work for even lower values?

I don't see this as happening any time soon (if ever). Taking a quick look at the code that loads in the frequency values I don't see anything artificially limiting the values to >= 1/6th and then it goes deep into the map-generation code which few (if any?) actually understand at this point.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Hmm, that's a shame. 1/6 isn't very infrequent.
OptimaUPS Mod, pm for info.
