[0.16] How do change autoplacement?

[mrvn]

I'm trying to update SeaBlock (and therefor Angels mods) to 0.16 and they disable ore placement by setting autoplace and autoplace-control to nil.

Problem is that the map presets include defaults for those resources and then it fails to find them.

Is there an update guide for resource placement for 0.16?

So what is the right way for 0.16 to disable one of the standard resources?

For SeaBlock what is the best way to make everything water except below aliens?
