So I have been looking into using RSO for a bit (still a newbie), but its settings has left me a bit puzzled. For example when it says "ore richness exponent", does that mean that the richness scales by that exponent. So at (I don't know how the game measures distance, so bear with me) so at 1000 meters, richness goes up by 1000^1.1 = 1100?

Also does the settings in the map creation screen seize to matter, when you use this mod?

You are correct about the exponent - but distance is measured in regions with default region size being 32.
And map settings are used by RSO to modifiy resource parameters. For enemies richness is ignored other two are also working.
