map-gen-settings.json in single user mode?

I'm trying to generate a map outside the normal UI parameter range, so I renamed the example to map-gen-settings.json and made some changes, but I cannot seem to entice Factorio to recognize that. This is on a Mac with Steam. I've seen reference to this file for server Factorio and I'm starting to wonder if just doesn't get used in single player. Any ideas?

map-gen-settings.json need to be specified with the --map-gen-settings command line option and is used in conjunction with the --create to create a save from the command line. i.e. you would be running something like this from a terminal:
Code: Select all
$ path/to/factorio-executable --map-gen-settings path/to/map-gen-settings.json --create path/to/save-to-create.zip
