Changing the Resource size or richness on saved game

[Whataguy]

Hi.

i have made about 21 rocket defense units now on the on one map. How ever I only put the resources on normal size and normal richness, when your using about 80K raw resources per 10 minute the mines don't last long.
Is there any way of changing the setting on a saved map to increase the resource weather it be is size or richness ?

Not that I know of. There are ways to export the save game as a scenario to edit it (to add resources), but outside of that, changing the seed is impossible. I have a save game with default settings, and I've built 112 RD's. It is doable, though difficult.

Hi,

I have no direct answer to your question, however, you might want to use RSO (Ressource Spawner Overhaul).
This mod basically changes the way the game generates ores, and it has a procedure you can call to run its ressource generation procédure.
There's more in the mod description topic, you can find the RSO subforum here :

You can regenerate ores with either RSO or by hand in vanilla game.
Command to do that without RSO is:

Code: Select all

/c game.regenerateentity("entity name")

For entity name you can use copper-ore, iron-ore, crude-oil or stone.
Both solutions are a bit hackish - world is infinite so you should be able to find more resources afer proper.. biter removal.
