How to add the player starting position in the Map Editor?

Hey, first post here.

How can I add the player start position in the map editor? I found the option to open the editing window ("e"), but I cant seem to find how to add the player starting position. Without the position, you apparently cant save the map.

Hit f while in entity window. it will roll neutral-player-enemy entity lists.

You need to actually place the player on the map. Open the menu with "E" select proper force by pressing "F" and then take the player and put in on the map as a regular entity.

Ah thanks, finally found it :)

You should maybe implement some tooltips for the "entities" on the left side as well :)

In case someone who knows reads this: How often do the devs plan on updating the game? Once a month? Once every 2 weeks? Irregularly?

I think it's about once a month right now, the initial plan (before buggy 2.9) was once a week on Fridays :)
But more specifically whenever the next release is ready :)

Yes 29. march is planned to be the release date.
This gives us more time to implement larger-scale changes.
I can't give you an exact schedule after that, but anything between 14 days and month could happen.
