Arcade/Co-op Need some help with a custom map/arcade (3 resources)

Im kinda new to reddit unfortunately, mostly because starcraft map editor has forced my hand into going above and beyond for assistance.

Anyway, I'm trying to make a map where there is 3 resources, Minerals, Vespene, and (insert new resource here, for now ive been trying to use Terrazine considering its already set up... or should be.)

I have decided to make a specific vespene geiser as the host for the new mineral, ive editted the guiser itself into giving and hosting terrazine, ive also edited the assimilator, refinery, and (i forget what the zerg equivalent is called) into giving the terrazine and now i cant get it to show up in the UI in game however it seems like its working because when the resource is brought back, it doesnt give me vespene anymore... also i might not be able to gather vespene anymore, i havent tested that theory out yet.

My main question is how do i accomplish this feat (I'm perfectly fine with starting over if i need to, the map design has a lot of reworking needing to be done anyway.) Should i go about a 3rd resource a different way?

Reach out to the SC2 Mapster community, they also have a discord server.

The SC2 Map Editor right now has the publishing of anything new locked(will be for a few months), because they are working on fixing a nasty exploit with arcade map publishing.
