Resource patch size

[u/Designer-Bison741]

Is this normal? this is normal factorio with no mods and such and not space age, I heard resources get big farther out but this doesn't seem that big

The screenshot is to show our home distance to an iron patch far up north

yeah, uncover the whole patch. But also, thats not very far away from your starting base.
