New Generatable Resources

[metzyn]

I'm wanting to make a new resource able to be generated in the same fashion as coal, iron, copper, and stone. I started working on this but am running into trouble. Is there a way to actually do this?

I think that if you make a entity with type resource, like iron copper and coal are made, they will spawn.

I'm getting an error of "Error while loading prototype "quartz-ore-particle": No such node (filename)"

I tried to copy the existing resource prototypes as closely as possible. Am I missing something?

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
	{
		type = "particle",
		name = "quartz-ore-particle",
		flags = {},
		life_time = 180,
		pictures = {

				frame_height = 5,
				frame_count = 1

u typed framename instead of filename in one of em

u typed framename instead of filename in one of em

My mistakes are normally that of overlooking a stupid typo. Thank you!
