(Yes, map creation, not even the point when it would be available in research)

This is one reason why I changed the icon of the advanced copper plates recipe to include cobalt oxide in the picture, people were complaining there was no clear indication that it could be produced by other means, but this changed icon helps. on top of that, the copper plate and cobalt oxide recipe is available side by side with the cobalt oxide and cobalt plate recipe, as such I considered it a non-issue that the "useless" cobaltite to cobalt oxide recipe existed even when no cobalt ore did.

I'd recommend map labels mod. There is one around and it will place a "fake" station with ore's name so you can read all of them on map.

bobingabout wrote:First post in this topic gives a command to tell the game to regenerate (spawn) my new ores... HOWEVER, in 0.13 it is broken! if you use it, you get an entire map covered in ores! This is a bug in the base game, not a problem with my mod.
(if you do /c game.regenerate_entity("iron-ore"), then the entire map gets covered in iron ore, a base game resource... so, broken command!)

Alternatively... when a new area of the map is generated due to you exploring, the new areas of map will generate with a chance to contain my ores, just like any other resource.

I hope that helps.

/c local surface = game.player.surface;
for y=-5,4 do
 for x=-5,4 do
  surface.create_entity({name="cobalt-ore", amount=1234, position={game.player.position.x+x, game.player.position.y+y}})
 end
end
