Increasing resources in map editor

[n4rf]

I wasn't able to search to find this answer, so i figured i would ask here;

Is there a way to modify how quickly the editor increases resources or to increase the stock amount that it puts down from the editor?

I'd really like to just make a predictable resource string that will last ages, and using the stock editor... this is difficult.

press f to increase resources look in game on the controls to see

F will increase the resources but if you are trying to get a huge amount in one spot, I don't believe that there is a way to add alot at one time. You'll just have hold f down until it's at the level you want, or try using lua to add them in.

Actually you can make endless ressources in editor. The only thing you must do is to decrease amount of mineral in vein below 0.

that might do what you want depending on how many 'ages' you want it to last

as for:

in alpha (maybe demo too?) you can use the console to do the same + more.. hold shift and press the tilde key (~) next to 1
then type something to the effect of game.getplayer().insert{name="iron-ore", count=64}
but that's if you want to cheat in your game, if you were making a custom map to share, you wouldn't want to tell everyone to just cheat in resources...though you could add the same commands to the scenario script instead (just not under ontick, unless you only gave like 1 ore per tick lol).
