AutoplaceControl.hidden = true to hide the control from the map generation screen

[jurgy]

I'm trying to get a resource to show up in the Factoriopedia as appearing on a specific planet, but not be present during map gen or ever being naturally spawned on the planet, but instead placed by my mod during runtime

One thing I encountered while trying to accomplish that was that AutoplaceControl.hidden = true doesn't seem to do anything. Can this be implemented to hide the resource controls from the map generation screen?

Thanks!

For clarity, I mean this screen:

But if you don't want it to be auto placed, why do you need an AutoplaceControl? You can define the prototype and just place it with create_entity.

So Factoriopedia still shows it as appearing on the planet.
