wishlist: geothermal mod should use 0.18 resource-autoplace tool #250

It'd be great if the geothermal mod used resource_autoplace_settings from the resource-autoplace.lua library rather than custom code when a chunk is generated.

That'd be useful for map generator preview, as well as avoiding overlaps with existing resources. It should be able to enforce all the current rules about placement correctly, as well as the probabilities.

Unfortunately the license on the code and American employment law mean I can't contribute this myself, but I'd ask you to consider it.

Thank you very much for the mod either way!

No, the autoplace system does not offer anywhere near the flexibility and controllability custom script does, for example tile- (aka biome-)specific spawn rates and generating pairs of entities together. Geothermal will never use it, as to do so would mean scrapping features.
