See mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/IceOre

Can you take a screenshot what you have and make the picture how it must be?

You know how all the sprites (or whatever they're called) for the ore are on one graphic, and the game somehow seems to take just one of them when placing the ore... well my game is taking the wrong chunks off of the graphic, so instead of showing one ore, it's taken parts of two or more. So my ores look all choppy and weird. They work fine and everything, its just the graphics are really weird. Not sure how to fix this... does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Bob ores will give you a demonstration on how to use it.

However
you need a resource (look at prototype/resources.lua), a noise layer, an autoplace control(can't remember what file they're in, but should be easy enough to find), and also an item for whatever result is on the resource
