[2.0.16] "Restart Level" generates a new map
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2024 3:51 am
I'm not 100% sure if this is expected or is a bug, but to me it feels like a bug, and wasn't what I expected.
When dying and selecting the "Restart Level" button, I expected to respawn on the same map as where I'd died. But instead I found myself on a regenerated map with a new seed.
I just tested again to confirm this works, and here are the steps I took.
1. Start a new map (I used seed `2333176592` with exchange string:

2. I then went out exploring to find a biter next and got myself killed.
3. I clicked "Restart level", expecting to be on the same map just with everything reset, but instead found myself in a new map:

This might or might not be the desired effect, but definitely wasn't what I expected to happen.
I would suggest the behavior of that button be updated to restart on the same same map, and not regenerate the map.
