Is there any way to make let's say, iron ore placeable in the map while selecting it from the player inventory and clicking, like a furnace or chest placement?

Do you want to drop the item? To do so press key "z"

If you want to place it like a ressource you would have to change the item you want to place.
You would have to add the entity which to place.

I've tried to set it as an stationary entity but struggled at setting the type of the entity as none pre-established has met my needs
Edit: I've managed to do some stuff in a hacky way but i've found another problem, it keeps asking electricity...
As i've tried to find and failed, there's no useless entities in the game yet, i think i'll try to tinker with train stops...

Train-stop gives a crash...

You could try making it decorative, take a look at those items.

All you should need to do is add this to any data portion of any mod:

Code: Select all

data.raw["item"]["iron-ore"].place_result = "iron-ore"

Had an error while using

Code: Select all

data.raw["item"]["iron-ore"].place_result = "iron-ore"

into modded item (assignID after referencing it), but "Decorative" worked perfectly
Thanks for the help Rseding91 and ThaPear
