[0.15.37] map-settings.example.json defaults to expensive difficulty

[daniel34]

These are the first few lines of Factorio\data\map-settings.example.json:

Code: Select all

  "difficulty_settings":
  {
     "recipe_difficulty": 1,
     "technology_difficulty": 1,
     "technology_price_multiplier": 1
  },

Since recipe_difficulty and technology_difficulty are set to 1 they use the expensive template. It should be set to 0 (normal difficulty) instead.

Rseding91 has already mentioned it in this thread (where users complained about it):

It's not the default. It's the example. The default is "don't specify a map-settings.json file"

However all other settings in that file are set to their default values (as far as I can tell). Difficulty settings should do the same.

The current behavior leads to players unknowingly playing on expensive difficulty, and threads like this:

Ok, I changed it for 0.16.
