Cheat to temporarily reveal map resources?

[jeff.oster03]

So I love the new research mechanic where I have to research a mineral in order to reveal it on the map. But at the very start of the my game, I first want to make sure I'm not wasting my time in the placement of my city (building apartments right over an oil deposit, e.g).

Is there way to cheat to reveal the map resources, and then turn it off again and resume my game?

Not a cheat if bauxite and uranium don't bother you: coal, iron and oil deposits are only locked on the map. When placing mines, the area is shown as usual. The location for the starting city can thus be checked.

Otherwise, just temporarily turn off the "research" option in the game menu.

Ah of course, thanks!

If you wana more info as well you can open up the landscaper mode and select paint or erase resources to see exactly what is where. DO NOT SAVE IN THIS MODE. Once you find what your looking for disable it.
Press CHE to enable cheats then in the "pause" menu where you save click on cheats and then click landscaper.
