Allow us to access the resource groups on map

Post by AlienX »

Hi
As per my prev post asking for help on the issue (here), is it at all possible to allow modders to gain a list of read only objects which contain the data for the currently known resource patches, their type, amount and area that players can get while looking at the map and hovering their mouse over a resource patch?

The information is generated every time you hover the mouse over a resource patch so there's no "known resource patches".

All we do is entity search and check resource distance from the last found resource patches to build a "best guess" as to what a patch is.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
