Resource generator

Download Resource generator here

I have created a set of markers that represent resources on the map. For me to write a good state conflict story economy and resources are key behind motivation and making it believable so here it is:

10k
190

50k
530

100k
860

Below every screenshot there is points number followed by the amount of markers.
Most markers are generated taking into account cells temperature, precipitation, biome, ect. so the placement of markers, for me is pretty reflective of reality.
I only changed 2 files for that to work, so here is how to implement is on your custom server:

1. Go to fantasy map generator --> modules, paste markers-generator.js
2. Then modules --> ui, paste layers.js

Create new map or open saved one, after doing so, go ahead and hide markers layer and show it again for size to be updated

This is very raw version, so no editor inside client, and when manipulating multiplier in client bugs out the generator, not sure how to fix it yet.
If you would like to change/add a resource open marker generator, in GetDefaultConfig function add your resource, then create new List[resource] function for generation configuration and Add[resource] function for description. If you would like to change the frequency of resource generation, find your resource in GetDefaultConfig, and manipulate 'each' variable. the less the value the more resources will be generated
to adjust marker size and shape, go to layers.js, GetPin, choose your marker shape, below that you can find DrawMarker and adjust its size

This version is sufficient for my purposes, but if you guys like it I could work on it to fix some bugs, make generation more precise, add each states resources counter, add potentially state resources needs, resources filter for visual cleanse and resource editor in client

Sounds interesting. How can I use this resource generator?

Hi! to implement the changes, you'd have to open generator on your local host (I personally use OSpanel) then go to link above (Fantasy-Map-Generator-master.zip), download content, unzip it, put inside projects folder and start up your local host server and that's it. If you are struggling with local servers let me know I'll help you out with screenshots

@covison, you can just fork a project and deploy it to gitHub pages, it will be available online

[covison]

Oh, okay, will do

[Khordel]

Would it be possible to add this generator to the basic generator?
That would be handy... since resources are a good addition to the generator. Especially for the background. Resources are a good reason to justify tension or conflict, since that's often what nations fight over.

@Khordel, no as it works on top of markers system and interferes it. It should be a different system and it was already build and lives in a separate branch, not sure why markers were selected for this change.
