disable the placement of ground tiles

[kingarthur]

how do i disable all the land tiles from spawning in .17. in 16 i turned off autoplace and it worked but that doesnt seem to do anything anymore with the new mapgen

Code: Select all

local tiles = 
	{
	"grass-1",
	"grass-2",
	"grass-3",
	"grass-4",
	"dry-dirt",
	"dirt-1",
	"dirt-2",
	"dirt-3",
	"dirt-4",
	"dirt-5",
	"dirt-6",
	"dirt-7",
	"sand-1",
	"sand-2",
	"sand-3",
	"red-desert-0",
	"red-desert-1",
	"red-desert-2",
	"red-desert-3",
	}

for t, tile in ipairs(tiles) do

	data.raw.tile[tile].autoplace = nil
	
end

Took me a while to figure out after 0.17 update:

Code: Select all

local zeroExpression = {
    expression_id = "literal-number:1",
    literal_value = 0,
    type = "literal-number"
  }

function resetRichness(ent)
	if ent and ent.autoplace then
		ent.autoplace.richness_multiplier = null
		ent.autoplace.richness_expression = zeroExpression
		ent.autoplace.probability_expression = zeroExpression
	end
--	log(serpent.block(ent.autoplace))
end

This works for ores. You might need to check if terrain has different variables by uncommenting the log statement.

well i got it to work. somehow. here is what i did

Code: Select all

local tiles = 
	{
	--"out-of-map",
	"grass-1",
	"grass-2",
	"grass-3",
	"grass-4",
	"dry-dirt",
	"dirt-1",
	"dirt-2",
	"dirt-3",
	"dirt-4",
	"dirt-5",
	"dirt-6",
	"dirt-7",
	"sand-1",
	"sand-2",
	"sand-3",
	"red-desert-0",
	"red-desert-1",
	"red-desert-2",
	"red-desert-3",
	
	}
	--[[
	for a, a in pairs(data.raw.tile) do
	
		log(a.name)
		
	end
]]
	data.raw.tile["landfill"].collision_mask = {}
	data.raw.tile["out-of-map"].collision_mask = {}
	
for t, tile in ipairs(tiles) do

--log(serpent.block(data.raw.tile[tile].autoplace))

	--data.raw.tile[tile].autoplace = nil
	data.raw.tile[tile] = nil
	data.raw["optimized-decorative"]["sand-dune-decal"] = nil
	--data.raw.tile[tile].autoplace = autoplace_settings(tile,"grass",{{0,0},{0,0}})
	
end

i removed the unwanted tiles completly and that replaced all land with out of map tiles. then for reasons i dont understand i removed the collision masks from the out of map tiles and it was replaced with the marsh tile. so it works and im slightly confused.

Doesnt work as intended. Marsh tiles wont let you use landfill due to ground-tile collision mask and removing that makes them get replaced with a different tile. Removing the extra tiles eventually it gives an error stating that needs at least one tile with ground-tile tag and isnt minable
