Is there a way to tell the chunk generator to only place a resource on specific terrain?

I've got a 'clay' resource that I want autoplaced on the map, but ideally only on 'dirt-dark' terrain.

I think the only way to get that is by placing it with control.lua ^^

I would suggest looking a the Homeworld Mod.

I seem to recall it filling the desert with sand ore.

I would increase resource frequency significantly, and then via script, on chunk generation, delete any offending resource patches.

Excellent info, it does indeed restrict to sand in that mod, here's how:
So I can do same in my mod. Problem solved! Thanks Ranakastrasz!

Oh. Really? I didn't expect that. Interesting to know.

Thought it was a script.
