There are one ore more bugs to fix.
One of them is that the image is cropped at the top and bottom on Widescreen monitors. So to fix it, you need to find a way to distance the camera from the ground.
It is not enough to change the data in the "graphics.xml" file. I'm not sure.

I was searching for a way to open these files, and found this tool.

How to open DDS files?
For Windows, copy the dds.exe (64bit) file to the plug-ins folder in GIMP. Works even with GIMP 2.10
Code.google.com

EDIT: The newest GIMP Versions can open DDS images by default. Note DXT1, DXT3 and DXT5 compressions are lossy - I can only recommend one of them if we are saving a complex images.

Sorry for double-post.
Do I need to do something special for the files to work? When I decode a TGA file, change it, save it, encode it and put it back in the game, the game crashes when starting/loading a game.

I decoded a file called PB_R_Headquarter01_L.tga
opened it in GIMP to see if I can read it, I can -
and encoded it, and put it back to the game directory.
The size was bigger after dec/enc, but the game had no problems to load it.
This Tool is exactly the same Version as on the Xentax-forum - link can be found in the Readme.txt file.

It's because the encoder/decoder is an EXE file which modifies files when used on them. This is why browsers or antiviruses classify this EXE as a threat.

Is there a way to increase the amount of Coal, Iron and Gold Ore in the ground per tile? The goal is, to run these mines for ever, like ressource nodes in the game "Satisfactory". I have searched all the files I could read, but nothing found.

The maximum amount of Coal a single mine can mine is 259. Siedler-maps.de
As I remember you can increase the mining range of a mine, from 3 to a bigger number.
259 Coal allows creating up to 86 generals, starting from 0 soldiers.
