How can I edit the resources of a planet?

[Xuixien]

Yeah I know it's "cheating" but I'm playing in sandbox so screw it. Just want to add a BIT more water to Minmus - my last save I had 5% and quite a few patches, in this save I got 0.9% and no patches. There's got to be someway to edit this, since it's different in every save. Thanks.

search in persistent.sfs for this section:

	SCENARIO
	{
		name = ResourceScenario
		scene = 5, 7, 6
		RESOURCE_SETTINGS
		{
			GameSeed = 1234567890
			MaxDeltaTime = 21600
		}
	}

And change the GameSeed value. That way you can change the resource distribution of all planets. A simple add X to Minmus is not possible as far as I know.

So it's all or nothing, huh? I'd have to increase all resources by a factor of 5 to get the water I want on Minmus.

Another idea would be to go to the file

GameData/CommunityResourcePack/ResourceConfigs/Water.cfg

and change MaxAbundance for Minmus.

However I have never done that and there might be unforseen consequences.

Also this would change the settings not only for this savegame but all savegames.

I know this was like 7 years ago but I still have a question, how do you exactly have to change the gameseed to in order for minmus to have at least 2.5% of ore? Do you just type random 10-digit seeds until it's good enough or what?

Never mind I just solved it by adding another planetary ore line in the ore.cfg file.
