Any chance that we could get the option to control the fluid requirements for infinite ores on a per-ore basis? I'd like to play a game where all ore patches are infinite but small. The problem is this doesn't really seem possible with fluid requirements on as you don't start with the necessary techs to mine anything but coal. I'd like to only turn the fluid requirements off on the basic ores but leave them on for the more advanced ones/coal so as not to make things too easy on myself.

That would be non-trivial to implement, a more valid work-around would be to set regular ores to spawn in the starting area, and only infinite ores everywhere else
