Hello,

I'm trying to adapt an already existing mod, "endless resources" to transform only ore tiles that are above a value (let's say 3000) to infinite like oil. The code of the mod is fairly simple, it transform anything that isn't infinite (everything except oil) to an infinite type resource :
From what I have found looking in the forums, data.raw.resource["something"] would reference only a global resource type and would not allow to go through all the ore tiles on the map. Is there a way to have a for loop that could change tiles one by one (changing only those who have 3000+ ores to infinite) ?

Currently that's not possible. You could change the amount of ores above 2000 to a very high number which is almost the same as infinite. Though the output stays the same

Code: Select all

for k, v in pairs(data.raw.resource) do
if not data.raw.resource[k].infinite then
data.raw.resource[k].infinite = true
data.raw.resource[k].minimum = 175
data.raw.resource[k].normal = 350
end
end

To get effect similar to what you want you need to grab two mods that together work like this:
Angels Infinite Ores link
RSO link
When both are present all ore fields outside of starting area will be composed of mixed finite and infinite ore patches.

Thanks for both of your answers, exactly what I was looking for !
