When you're trying to find iron on the map, it would be nice if there was a button that could highlight all iron deposits while you hold the button. Or make them blink for two seconds or something. It can be hard to spot all the deposits, especially during the night when the map is darker than normal.

The example given is for iron ore, but it's relevant for all the resource types.

Nice idea !

Alternatively, this should help :

Glowing ores https://mods.factorio.com/mod/wormmus-glowing-ores

Choose the ore and it will be highlighted: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TorchLight

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Not quite what I was looking for, although the mod that labels the resources might come in handy.
