The code looks like it's for stone-ore, but what you're saying sounds like you're talking about those decorative stone-rock entities.

My code for now is something like

--Removing water
if event.x>-5 and event.x<5 and (-5<y<)
then surface.get_tile(...).name == "water" or "deepwater"
surface.set_tiles(set to grass-2 or something)
end
--Removing rocks.
local results = surface.find_entities_filtered{area = event.area, type = "simple-entity"}
for k,v in pairs(results)
if v.name == "rock" or big rock or any rock.
v.destroy()
end
end

I saw another way to stop rocks from being generated is in Singistics Mod. The method is inside data.lua. But water is still generated. And it affect the prototypes, so it's not very flexible. If people prefer to mix my mod with others, they would probably encounter some issue.

for _,rock in pairs(data.raw['simple-entity']) do rock.autoplace = nilend

Should remove all rocks, including those added by other mods, but when other mods are involved just be careful they don't actually use simple-entity with autoplace for stuff other than rocks.

Code: Select all

for _,rock in pairs(data.raw['simple-entity']) do rock.autoplace = nilend

Yeah, this is the reason I prefer a per-surface method. People are always inspired by tons of wired ideas and try combining different things from all corners of this planet. Any way, thank you for this idea. I'll look into it later.

You need to look into MapGenSettings.

Here's some old code (not tested in 1.1) i once used to create a completely empty map preset. But if you don't need it selectable in the NewGame menu you should be able to just apply it in i.e. on_init.

 local autoplace_controls = {} for _,control in pairs(data.raw['autoplace-control']) do autoplace_controls[control.name] = { frequency=0.01, richness=50, size=0 } end local autoplace_settings = { ['decorative'] = { treat_missing_as_default = false, }, ['entity'] = { treat_missing_as_default = false, }, ['tile'] = { treat_missing_as_default = true, }, } data.raw['map-gen-presets'].default['er:empty-map'] = { order = 'zzz', basic_settings = { autoplace_controls = autoplace_controls, -- default_enable_all_autoplace_controls = false, --prevents desert autoplace_settings = autoplace_settings, cliff_settings={ -- cliff_elevation_0=10, -- cliff_elevation_interval=40, -- name="cliff", richness=0 }, property_expression_names={ --red desert ["control-setting:aux:bias"]="0.500000", ["control-setting:aux:frequency:multiplier"]="0.166667", ["control-setting:moisture:bias"]="-0.500000", ["control-setting:moisture:frequency:multiplier"]="0.166667" }, terrain_segmentation=1, water=0, starting_area = 0, seed=553780354, } }

Thank you. I'll look into it tomorrow.
By the way, I planned to write a Factorio tool kit. Something like get_random_point("nauvis"). And already a branch of simple prototypes like projectile prototype without graphics. Or assemblers which don't consume power.
Any idea?
