Is there a way to change the default map settings?
When creating a mod, it is often useful to make tweaks and generate new maps quickly. Is there a way to change the default map settings (water frequency, enemy base size, etc)?

Not sure if this is faster in your case, but you can:
- create a game with the settings you want as basis
- save that game right away
- go to load game
- mark the save you just made
- click on the Map exchange string button
- copy the exchange string to the clipboard
- now you can instantly restore the settings by filling them in the box when starting a new map

It might be marginally faster than the current system of clicking if I added the exchange string to a macro on my mouse, but I'd still like to see if anyone knows a way to change the defaults themselves.Loewchen wrote:Not sure if this is faster in your case, but you can:

Thanks, though.

Unless your mod is changing map generation, do you actually need a 'new' map at all? You could just load an existing one repeatedly.

I'm often modifying items, entities, and recipes, and haven't quite gotten hot-loading into existing maps down yet, so it would be useful to be able to change the default settings.starholme wrote:Unless your mod is changing map generation, do you actually need a 'new' map at all?

To answer your original question: no.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
