Pink sand obscures ore

[GoogleCodeExporter]

0.1.7a on windows xp:

Pink sand tiles frequently obscure ore and other icons; I sometimes see the
icons at range but when I approach they become invisible - I just see the
pink sand. Moving over the sand tiles, I find the ore anyway and pick it up.

Also, pink sand tiles seem to have an abnormally large rate of ore
generation on them, because if I do a tile-by-tile search pattern I find a
-lot- of small ore deposits in it.

I'm specifically noticing this when the game generates a circular area of pink 
sand.
I don't know if it's happening on single pink sand tiles; it's really hard to 
get
enough together to notice the effect.

Yes i know :)
The circular areas with invisible resources are a feature. And yes, there is 
more
than average ore beneath the sand. There is a 4.5% chance per planet map 
generated to
have one, if you want to know.
