I think very rare fields with endless ressources would be great. And it should be able to deactivate this feature for people who don't want this.

As much as I like the idea, I think it should be the opposite.
It would be nice to have endless fields of resources, so you could make a cool factory and not have to move things around, but only in a sort of "sandbox mode" where all you would do was making an awesome factory, not so much caring about keeping creepers away.

Actually you can make endless ressources in editor. The only thing you must do is to decrease amount of mineral in vein below 0.

really? now that sounds like a bug to me

It is no bug, just a "feature" for nearly unlimited resources. The amount will be set to a very high number. (Should be 2^32 -1 = 4,294,967,295)
Even if it was a bug, it should be not fixed, because it is pretty useful. Also it is not abusable, because it can only be used in the editor.

True enough I suppose, I just hadn't realized it.

Thank you for that hint.
Dut I think an option in the world generator screen would make it much easier, because you don't have to to create your own world in the editor every time you start a new map.
