Huge ore patches

Post by OTheB »

After using Train Outposts for a while, I got to really enjoy the 40 tile wide ore patches I could get in my world and the great train systems I could use, but this broke and I've been looking for an alternative. I haven't found anything after several hours of looking, so I thought it would be a good idea to request such a mod.

The idea is simple: Add a huge multiplier to ore patch sizes and a smaller one to spacing between, so one can have these wonderfully huge ore patches to use for large factories, but without there being ore everywhere, which would be very over-powered.

If possible, It would be great to have it support Angel's Infinite Ores, or some other similar mod, as I prefer this yield percentage mechanic to ore patches just running out.

Thanks for any help.

You can get RSO and set size multiplier to 2-3 and see how it goes.
It might cause some issues on patch borders but should work without problems.

I'll try this, but I did only start using Train Outposts because RSO didn't want to work properly. How would I change this size multiplier?

All you've got to do is set frequency to low and size to large and you get what you're after.
