Deleted Resource Help

Hi,
I have a mod (Factorio World) that spawns basic resources when a player is teleported to a location:
Code: Select all
surface.create_entity({name="crude-oil", amount=START_OIL_AMOUNT, position={oil_patch_x, oil_patch_y}})
(This is done in a script called from control.lua.)
However, I have learned that at least one mod deletes the resource "crude-oil", which causes my mod to fail.
Code: Select all
data.raw.resource["crude-oil"] = nil
(This is done in a script \prototypes\generation\ez-override.lua.)
I tried adding a simple check in my script:
Code: Select all
if data.raw.resource["crude-oil"] then
but this doesn't have access to 'data'. I am not sure of the scope of the data object, so I don't know where to put code that will perform the needed check.
Perhaps I am missing something obvious.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
jon

data.raw does not exist in control.lua. There a bunch of game.* tables you can use instead.

Code: Select all
if game.entity_prototypes["crude-oil"] then

Thank you.
(I would love to be smart enough to figure that out by reading the API docs.)

Just out of curiosity, which idiot (mod) is running around deleting base prototypes like that instead of removing the autoplace?

It looks like we are need another correction mod, where will be checked all vanilla prototypes and add placeholder if they are missing.

Omnimatter. And it removes the autoplace too:
Code: Select all
data.raw.resource["crude-oil"] = nil
data.raw["autoplace-control"]["crude-oil"] = nil
data.raw.resource["iron"] = nil
data.raw["autoplace-control"]["iron"] = nil
data.raw.resource["copper"] = nil
data.raw["autoplace-control"]["copper"] = nil
data.raw.resource["coal"] = nil
data.raw["autoplace-control"]["coal"] = nil

@hyspeed: Thanks. Let's see if the author cares to be a good guy.
