Disabling vanilla ore generation

[Prapor]

What are some ways to remove vanilla ore from the game? I tried to figure out how Arch666Angel does it, but his LUA kung fu is better than mine. I basically understand how to do it, but this is only in principle, how to implement it at LUA, I don’t understand (especially considering that LUA I know is lousy)

P.S. Maybe I will come back with the question of how to turn off vanilla technologies and recipes, but I hope I will deal with it myself

You can find it in data-final-fixes.lua in RSO. It disables spawning but leaves ore items etc.
There are few potential ways to do it tho - it depends if you want the resourcecs to still show up in map setup menu for example.

Just look into data.raw: here is data.raw.resource, you can just delete autoplace from it.
Something like that (not tested):

Code: Select all

for i, resource in pairs (data.raw.resource) do
  resource.autoplace = nil
end

Also be sure to only remove the autoplace (placement rules) for vanilla ores, and not the ores themselfs. Removing the ore (entity/item) itself would cause problems with many other mods.

And if you remove the autoplace, don't forget to remove the autoplace control too. There's no point in it showing up on the map if you can't place it.
Though, that may require removing those controls from the difficulty presets.

Thanks ta all...

This, as I understand it, should be placed in data_update.lua?

Code: Select all

for i, resource in pairs (data.raw.resource) do
resource.autoplace = nil
resource.autoplace.control = nil
end

If resource.autoplace is nil, then all inside of it is also nil, you MUST delete resource.autoplace.control = nil from your code.

First will be run all data.lua, then data-updates.lua, then data-final-fixes.lua. You cannot write it with "_".

I tried, but it doesn't work. I've tried putting this code in data.lua and data-update.lua-no effect.

You are need to restart the game after every data changing.

You can also start the game with this mod viewtopic.php?f=135&t=45107 and just open log file with Notepad++.

By removing the autoplace control

Code: Select all

for i, resource in pairs (data.raw.resource) do
  resource.autoplace = nil
  data.raw["autoplace-control"][resource.name] = nil 
  end

but now it give me a error

Sorry, here is plural:

Code: Select all

for i, resource in pairs (data.raw.resources) do
  resource.autoplace = nil
end

Just one "s" more.

Yes, I did say to remove the autoplace control. It is it's own thing, not part of the resource.

All the information has already been said in replies since my last message, but I can see why you got confused.
