I'm playing around with the Map generator window and noticing some inconsistent and/or counterintuitive behaviour. I'll list some of the steps I tested, bolded the behaviour that seems off to me:


- Paste a map exchange string
- Map seed is filled, resource settings get updated, Preset doesn't move
- Hit Reset button
- Map seed is cleared, resource settings reset, Exchange string doesn't get cleared

- (starting from fresh generator screen)
- Paste a map seed
- switch preset
- map seed gets cleared

Exchange strings don't contain anything about presets since the preset isn't saved in the map either. All presets do is change the rest of the options in a nice packaged way.

As for the exchange string not being cleared when the reset button is used - I'll fix that.

Right, makes sense. Perhaps a visual indication of this would be to deselect all presets when you enter an exchange string? (but that's category spit 'n shine)
