Hi there, I'm new to Widelands, but I've been editing for other games in the past, too, and I like Widelands One of my Problems now is, that I want to make a "perfectly playable map" with more than enough of any resource. But I don't really understand how to use gold, iron, etc. resource or rather the value of the minerals. The Tutorial tells me, that there is one for in/decreasing and one for set. (I hope that it is correct, that the german "Wert ändern" is the in/decrease value, isn't it ? ) But how do I exactly use that values to make the most mineral available at one place ? And does it have any effect to klick several times on the editor to create more mineral available ? Another question is: what about a possibility to make the transport on the streets faster ? (like the donkeys at settlers 2 ? ) I hope not to ask too many questions, Greetings, Tiger Edited: 2009-07-20, 05:00

Hi tiger, first of all welcome to the forums.
do you use German translation or is there a German text somewhere in the English version? However you are right with the translation.
Yes, clicking several times increases the value further (until the pyramidical icon is shown - that's the highest value). In most cases I set resources like this:
You will see that setting resources this way is much faster. And as you normally want to set a "field" of the same resource and not "statistically spread" resources over the whole mountain, this should work quite fine
Yes quite often requested and there will be a similiar feature in some time Cheers Nasenbaer

Thank you very much. Yes, I use the german translation (cuz I'm from germany Does the "in/decrease value" say, how fast the material is taken away from the area ? Or what exactly is the difference between the two values ?^^ Sorry for asking silly questions :D
Greetings Tiger

Hi Tiger, Lol this is a feature quite new to me as well However: The first one allows you to set a "+/- value" that will be added/removed from the locations you click on - it's a "fine tuning" tool. (btw. removing works via pressing STRG (CTRL) while clicking) The second one is for setting a value directly (with holding ALT while clicking) - you can click on a location as much as you want, it will still only set the value once. So yes "Änderungsrate" sounds better, however it's not the best word in this case Cheers Nasenbaer

Ah, ok, I thought the first value is for something else, so Änderungsrate may not fit XD So, If I understood it correctly, if I set the first value "Wert ändern" to 63 (max) and the "Set-value" to 63, too,(so also the "Raw-value" and the "fine-value") that should give the maximum mineral placeable ? I didn't want to criticize the translation, it's very good I think. greetz, Tiger
