[0.17.72] Missing key in map-settings.example.json

[Cooldude2606]

After one of the previous updates we were unable to generate new maps from a scenario. We checked logs and saw that the prosess would termiate just after factorio was initialised. We recognised this as being a config error and so attempted to use the example files and found that the issue persisted. So we ditched the scenario and tried to generate a game with only freeplay which again did not work; however, we received the following error:

Code: Select all

0.000 Error Util.cpp:83: Key "max_work_done_per_tick" not found in property tree at ROOT.path_finder

This key is missing in the example files provided and also a possible bug that config errors are not included in current log.
