Suggestion: Image based resource generation

[DegenerateGroundState]

How about an additional component that can take images and generate maps of where resources should spawn, alongside the current image to terrain feature? This way with a suitable map of the world's ores we could have Earth with its proper resource distribution.

This would indeed by very cool. If you have a good map that could be used, and is alligned with a good map for terrain, I might take another look at it. Though don't get your hopes up too much.

There are many datasets for mineral resources and energy resources, probably every single one is in a different format.

That's pretty cool :D Worth looking into at some point. Though probably not something I'll work on in the near future, but who knows, maybe.
