What?

Why?

I'd like to show some settings to the player that affect the generation of the map (not resources sliders, but drop-down lists and checkboxes).

As we already have per-map settings, and the map generator dialogue now has tabs, it seems like the easiest way to get this would be to show a copy of the "settings -> mod settings -> map" tab directly in the dialogue.

?

Are you saying this is already in the latest version? I'm still on 0.17.36 because of slow internet.
(The picture above is obviously edited by me.)

Edit: Don't see it in the changelog at least...

No.

It has been in the game since at least 0.16.

Oh, i guess you mean the [Mod Settings] button at the bottom?

Yes, it's where the arrow points to. It shows exactly the options that you are looking for.

This is how it looks on my screen.

I'd like to add a setting similar to an autoplace control directly in the menu, except i don't need 3 sliders, i need a checkbox and a drop-down list. Which mod settings can already do. (Can auto-place controls be sufficently manipulated as to show i.e. a 2-stage or 5-stage slider with custom tooltips for each setting?)

I thought the way to the mod settings menu was "too far" and it'd be nice to have only the map settings as an extra tab. And i actually *didn't notice* the mod settings button down there.

I hope that better explains what i meant. Even if you don't agree.

It does explain it, moved back to requests.

Thank you. \o/
(Note to self: Don't post too small pictures to save space in the first post.)

"Runtime per mod" mod settings have no inherit relation to that GUI and would only serve as an additional point of confusion and complication for that GUI.
