No uranium on pre-0.15 save

Post by DeWil_86 »

Hi!

When I load my pre-0.15 saves the no longer get any uranium. When 0.15 released I got some but all my mods didn't work so I didn't save. And now some minor updates in I don't have any uranium at all. :(

Can you provide the save game from 0.14?
It might be some mod messing things up

If you are using mods that change ore spawning (RSO) It is up to that mod to make sure uranium is spawned in existing areas.

Hi!

Thx for the replys. I'm using RSO in that game. But I still think that it's strange that it worked in the beginning and not now. I'll attach the save that has not been opened in 0.15.

RSO will not respawn the ore in already generated areas - it's not possible due to how generation works (it would change all other ores). You can ask it to regenerate but then everything will respawn and it will be in different locations.
New ore has a chance to be generated in new areas according to it's probability. I'm not sure what map settings will be present for that ore so it might mess things up a bit.

So, what you're saying is that I'm screwed when it comes to getting uranium on that map?

You need to explore new chunks further away.

It actually works in regions so it might be quite a few chunks and uranium needs to be rolled. By default region is 7 chunks so you might need to explore quite a bit.
