How to create map w/o default ore generation

I'm trying to create a map w/ voids and custom ores. However when i trigger the map creation in factorio, it always creates default ore profiles.
this part works well at map generation and when new chunks are generated:
Code: Select all
Event.register(defines.events.on_chunk_generated, function(event)
-- create voids in new chunks
-- create custom ores in new chunks randomly
end)
but it still produces the vanilla ore fields - how can i prevent that completely from happening?

Grab RSO and take a look in data.lua.
You need to disable generation of vanilla ores which is done there or alternatively delete them from map by searching for ore entitites and deleting them.

This is what i found in the RSO data.lua:
Code: Select all
if not RsoMod then
RsoMod = {}
end
i'll check control.lua - at least it has more lines of code

Opsie sorry thats only mod marker.
All the useful stuff is in data-final-fixes.lua.
Might be worth also looking at docs here - it will explain what the files do:
https://lua-api.factorio.com/0.16.51/Da ... cycle.html
control.lua might be a bit heavy lecture

From what I quickly found in RSO, it works as followed something like
for chunks not in starting area
{
destroy ores
create rso_ores
}
which works for me - haven't thought of this way of doing it before.

RSO doesn't destroy ores.
It uses this method:
Code: Select all
function resetRichness(ent)
if ent and ent.autoplace then
ent.autoplace.richness_multiplier = 0
ent.autoplace.richness_base = 0
end
end
to set resources to have no richness which means they don't spawn. It's a bit of a cheat and it changes between Factorio version - previously it used to set whole autoplace to null but it didn't work well in 0.16.
