the icon is self explanatory as to what the resource is. I like to know the number of resources, they are more useful for planning expansion
That's already in vanilla.
This mod seems a bit redundant now.

I still think its usefull.
I have trouble seeing coal since my monitor displays dark colors very accurately and the non-radar zones of the map combined with the checkerboard pattern make them very hard to distinguish when they are on top of dark brown. What makes this worse is that I use f.lux and it dims my monitor according to the time of day, so at night the map is basically useless when looking for coal unless I zoom in quite a bit.
I specifically want this mod so that I can mark each coal location with an icon and put the number of ores as the text. haven't figured out how to get the numbers yet though.

thinking about it now, I imagine being colorblind and using the map would be incredibly frustrating
