[2.0.39] Starting Tungsten Patch size not affected by size setting

Post by kuviman »

When creating game, in resources settings, changing Tungsten ore size setting does not affect the starting patch.

It does affect all the other patches, only the starting one stays same size

Is this modded? Afaik there should be no tungsten in the starting area at all.

Based on the comment in planet-vulcanus-map-gen.lua

Code: Select all

name = "vulcanus_starting_tungsten", -- don't use the slider for radius becuase it can make tungsten in the safe area
this seems deliberate.

It's Space Age, official mod. Tungsten spawns on Vulcanus.

I would like to decrease the size, not increase it. If the goal is to prevent it from spawning in safe area its size could be clamped to 100% but allowed to be smaller, or better allow it to use the slider but erase the ore from the safe area?

Thanks for the report. Looking into this, it seems to be intentional.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
