Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

View map generator settings

Post by Koekebakker »

I was wondering if there is a way to view which settings were used by the map generator when the map was created the first time of a saved game. Like which frequency, size, richness and small/low/very bad etc. resources.

You can check the generation settings (and the seed) of an existing map by doing the following:
Select the map in the 'Load game' dialog, then click on the 'Map Exchange String' button in the bottom left corner.
Copy that exchange string by selecting it with the mouse and pressing Control+C.
Then go to 'New game' and paste the map exchange string into the text field at the bottom (Control+V). All the map settings and the map seed will be filled out with the original map settings.
