Razahin here. I've only ever played Factorio with RSO, so I really liked the concept that ores would become more lucrative the further away from the starting area you went.
I made a very crude approximation of this effect in the generation code for PyBlock. I would have made a pull request but I was unable to pull down the code. (Permissions and whatnot).
Anyhow if you wanted to use it just replace line 409 with the following
local function calculateFactor(distance, exponent)
if distance< 1 and exponent < 1 then
return distance
end
return distance^exponent
end
local amount = math.random(1000, 1500) * calculateFactor(util.distance({x=0, y=0}, {x = event.area.left_top.x, y = event.area.left_top.y}), 1.075)
amount = math.floor(amount)
if amount > 1e9 then
amount = 1e9
elseif amount < 400000 then
amount = math.random(250000, 400000)
end
game.surfaces["nauvis"].create_entity{name=Rocks[SelectedRock],position={Randx,Randy},amount=amount}
