Precious Metals?

[unmerged(17138)]

I was converting an EU2 save game using the utility. All was fine until I decided to check the resources .. no precious metals anywhere!

Checked the whole world (only cursorly though) and even spots where I know there should be gold mines (eg. South Africa) there are none.

As far as I can tell there are no precious metals at all!

Is the utility also converting resources?

No.

In most of the games I've converted, I usually get at least 1 province in South Africa switched to Precious Metal before 1840/5

I checked out the event files and there's one called "goldevents.txt" which has random events for changing province resources to precious metals.

None of the provinces in province.csv seem to have string "precious_metals" or parts of it either.

Basically the whole world starts with no gold mines

Seems that all gold mines have to happen from random events ..

Thanks everyone
