[MOD 0.12.11+] Initial Map Scan

[waduk]

Yes right, sorry I don't speak English. [the imperfection of machine translation systems]
I want the fog back on the map. No need to run around the starting area.
The ability to see available resources and enemy bases around.

If that is the case, why don't make use of the map string ?

- Start new game with this mod enabled.
- (Obviously) Keep restarting the map until you have a good spot
- After you find it, saved the map.
- Disable this mod
- Look in the load game option, in the bottom left there's a button called "Map String", copy the string.
- Make a new game, but paste the string you copy earlier to "Map exchange" box.
- Click generate
- Voila !

Too much of action. Too much time. Why do I need the same map? Want random.
It is necessary that after removing the fog, it appeared again. For example after 30, 60 seconds.

You want the fog back after verifying you have acceptible resources. They just told you how to have the same map with fog. Whats the problem ?

[Rockstar04]

I think he might want the entire map to appear as if it's within radar range? Disabling the games fog.

Please don't use this mod, its pointless now

Wait, why is it pointless now? Did Factorio add this to the base game or something? I'm still using it in 0.12.35 and it seems to still be useful

The base game now scans a large area around the player, so i feel like this mod is only marginally useful now

This mod allows you to customize the radius that is scanned. I don't think it overwrites the base scan, but if you want to scan a larger area than vanilla, you can still do that.

Klonan,
could you explain why you wrote

Code: Select all

s.daytime = 0.9

in your code ?
A user of my timetools mod though that my clock was bugged because every time he starts a new map, the clock was rolling back a few times (at each of your mod's step).

I was annoyed that when the scan finished it was nighttime, so i made it reset to just before noon every scan so it would remain daytime

Can you please update this for 0.14, it´s so useful when rolling maps

[fishycat]

Hi, thanks for updating!

But when you start new game it stops because of typo in line 5: globlal instead of global.

Hm i probably should test before i update next time..

I fixed it now

[slimepuke]

Hey, this is the mod that I miss the most in 0.15! Would anyone be able to update it? I'm hoping it's an easy fix

[elvi123]

Hello,

Can any of you suggest me that this map scan is a type of radar scan or it is any other type of scanning?
