The number of ore piles doesn't change, just the amount in each one.zytukin wrote:Ore doubles every 109 chunks....what if I was to go 1000 chunks from spawn?
Could I end up seeing 100% ore coverage on the ground? lol

Here you are clearly saying exponential increase (2^(distance/3500)) but the code shows it scales linearly (1+distance/3500). I fixed it for myself so it acts as described and I think it will be nice with very poor richness as world gen settings. It will give you effectivly infinite resources once you have expanded far enough, but it will still be technically finite and quite limited close to {0,0}. I feel that if it's set to infinite mode with yield% then speed modules have no disadvantage and faster drills (like the super alien drill in fusion power mod with 50x speed~) become a bit to much cheaty. With finite amounts then prod modules are still a good option until you expand so far that richness reaches silly amounts.Rseding91 wrote:Every 3500 distance from spawn (roughly 109 chunks) the ore density doubles.

But I would also like to spread out resources a bit so that trains are still useful so optimal strategy isn't to just relocate your base a few thousand tiles and then never using train at all. One idea I have is to remove resources based on type in each direction (so maybe no iron north of spawn and no copper south of spawn). I could probably also make these directions change a bit based on distance so that the ore layout rotates. A complete rotation might be many thousands of tiles still thougth so they wouldn't be close together. But it would make it possible to have the central hub of your base not be {0,0}.

We get that info from the "every 3500 ... doubles", which SHOULD mean it's 1.414x ore at 1750 distance, 2x at 3500, 4x at 7000, 8x at 10500, etc.Rseding91 wrote:Qon wrote:Here you are clearly saying exponential increase (2^(distance/3500)) but the code shows it scales linearly (1+distance/3500).Rseding91 wrote:Every 3500 distance from spawn (roughly 109 chunks) the ore density doubles.
Yes. Thank you for clarifying my point.sparr wrote:from the first post.Rseding91 wrote:The ore rate scales as the distance does (it's not 1x ore at 3499 and then 2x at 3500).
Your clarification tells us that it's 1.999x ore at 3499 distance and 2.000x ore at 3500 distance. That doesn't tell us what it looks like at 1750 distance or 7000 distance.

Qon is right, the description of the scaling is wrong.
Code: Select all
local mult = 1 + (math.floor(math.sqrt((distX * distX) + (distY * distY))) / 3500)I can't scale richness with the same amount/distance as in 0.12 if I don't know how vanilla 0.13 behaves so now I can't adjust for it. If I want to continue my 0.12 bases I need this info. [:cube wrote:Oil actually scales as well, just less.
The base game has done the same logic for quite some time now. It's not needed anymore.Ironhair wrote:I used to have this in .13.
Just got back and wondering if we'll get an update to this for .15
