Or did it? (I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. If it is, can mod move it to Bug report, please ?)

While reading https://wiki.factorio.com/Command_line_parameters, I found --report-quantities
So below is my command

Code: Select all

"C:/Factorio/Factorio_2.0.76/bin/x64/factorio.exe" --generate-map-preview "E:\git\FactorioSeedFinder\preview-images\1002.png" --map-gen-seed 1002 --map-gen-settings "map-gen-settings.json" --report-quantities huge-rock

The huge-rock report is weird

Code: Select all

0.967 Info PlayerData.cpp:64: Local player-data.json available, timestamp 1778834973
   0.967 Info PlayerData.cpp:71: Cloud player-data.json unavailable
   0.972 Factorio initialised
   0.973 Initializing map preview generator: 1048576 pixels: 0,0...0,0; 1 meter per pixel
   0.981 Generating map preview: seed=1002
   1.995 huge-rock: totalEntityCount=0, totalRichness=0, minRichness=0, avgRichness=0.0000, maxRichness=0
   1.995 Map preview generation time: 1.013 seconds
   2.098 Goodbye

while with other ore entity it displays correctly

Code: Select all

"C:/Factorio/Factorio_2.0.76/bin/x64/factorio.exe" --generate-map-preview "E:\git\FactorioSeedFinder\preview-images\1002.png" --map-gen-seed 1002 --map-gen-settings "map-gen-settings.json" --report-quantities iron-ore,copper-ore,coal,stone,crude-oil,coal

I can confirm this seed has huge-rock entity

p.s.: one small question, can we have it extracted to the file? (I mean, right now I can just read from stdout but it is nice if it writes to a file)

The question is not if the seed generates the entity but if the preview does. Can you confirm it generates in the preview?
