i am trying to use the console command to add a resources patch but i dont understand the wikipedia

/c local surface = game.local_player.surface;
for y=-2,2 do
for x=-2,2 do
surface.create_entity({name="stone", amount=5000, position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
end
end

Open console with ~ or whatever you might have configured, ctrl+v, enter.

i know that yes but the command it self

Add new resource patch
This creates a new 5x5 patch of resources, centered on the player character. For resources other than stone, just change "stone" to "iron-ore", "copper-ore", or "coal"

/c local surface = game.local_player.surface;
for y=-2,2 do
for x=-2,2 do
surface.create_entity({name="stone", amount=5000, position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
end
end

is what i dont understand

Could you rephrase your question? I have no idea what your problem is with this command then. You want a line by line explanation of how it works?

if you want yes please
let me ask it like this

for example what do i need to put in the console command if i want a 5x5 iron ore deposit

/c local surface = game.local_player.surface;
for y=-2,2 do
for x=-2,2 do
surface.create_entity({name="iron-ore", amount=5000, position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
end
end

so if i copy paste this :

/c local surface = game.local_player.surface;
for y=-2,2 do
for x=-2,2 do
surface.create_entity({name="iron-ore", amount=5000, position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
end
end

it wil give me a 5x5 iron ore patch ??

If only there was a way to find out...

so no that dose not work

You have a stray ` at the end.

nice that workt thank you

i have this problem pleas help

Nowadays it's just player instead of local_player.

Also for crude oil you probably want to add some spacing so you're able to place the pumpjacks. Try {game.player.position.x+3*x, game.player.position.y+3*y} as the position.

edit: ...better use at least one 4 there somewhere if you also care about pipes.

thank you so much.

1. This is moved from General to Gameplay Help
2. Please use the code-block to show code.
Looks much better than
/c local surface = game.local_player.surface;
for y=-2,2 do
for x=-2,2 do
surface.create_entity({name="iron-ore", amount=5000, position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
end
end

and avoids wrong quoting.
