I wouldn't get too clever telling people not to use the idea, its been mentioned that many times, the idea is certainly public domain. I wouldn't pin your hopes on making the oil from veins using the weeder logic either, I read somewhere that a weeder won't harvest it. Your best bet is to make it as a new tiberium overlay type (can new tiberium types be added?) along with a new tibtree that can spawn it and just make maps with it present. Since normal harvesters can't reach it, only your naval harvester will be able to, though the already stupid harvester logic may be confounded by tiberium that harvesters can't reach. The pallet that the ore is in is lib*** where *** is the theater extension. Also be aware that the current build of XCC will make .shp overlay that FA2 won't use correctly so you can't place it in a map anyhow. I have put a lot of time into understanding the overlay types and how to make them work so if you have any other problems or questions as you start to work on it, let me know. I can't guarentee that I can help, but I may be able to.
