How to make my own map preset

[aklesey1]

In game there are already certain presets for maps like dangerous world or rail world but that I if you want to make own preset to choose it and to play with habitual settings settings?

Here;s an example of map presets I made for my own use.... Just put in data.lua

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
  {
    type = "map-gen-presets",
    name = "default",
    -- default changes nothing
    default =
    {
      default = true,
      order = "a"
    },
    ["rich-resources"] =
    {
      order = "b",
      basic_settings =
      {
        autoplace_controls =
        {
          ["iron-ore"] = { richness = "very-good"},
          ["copper-ore"] = { richness = "very-good"},
          ["stone"] = { richness = "very-good"},
          ["coal"] = { richness = "very-good"},
          ["uranium-ore"] = { richness = "very-good"},
          ["crude-oil"] = { richness = "very-good"}
        }
      }
    },
    ["marathon"] =
    {
      order = "c",
      advanced_settings =
      {
        difficulty_settings =
        {
          recipe_difficulty = defines.difficulty_settings.recipe_difficulty.expensive,
          technology_difficulty = defines.difficulty_settings.technology_difficulty.expensive,
          technology_price_multiplier = 4
        }
      }
    },
    ["dangerous"] =
    {
      order = "d",
      basic_settings =
      {
        autoplace_controls =
        {
          ["enemy-base"] = { frequency = "very-high"}

will editing the data.lua file break multi-player?

[daniel34]

will editing the data.lua file break multi-player?

Yes. It will say "Mod mismatch detected!".

You can make a mod that includes that data.lua and you can generate a new map with that mod enabled, but you'll have to disable the mod for other players to be able to connect. However generated maps will stay the same after you disabled the mod, so you could generate a new map with a changed data.lua or with a mod and save it, then revert/uninstall the data.lua change or mod, then start the map as vanilla and others will be able to join you.

many thanks daniel34.
hope we will see user presets in vanilla.
