[0.13.8] Map generator naming schema mismatch

Post by Zombo »

Hello,
the ingame map generator and the map-gen-settings.json for the headless server use different names for the same setting. For example:
Gui: Very Good
json: Very-High

Is this by intention? Feels a bit random.

As a programmer (though not for Factorio), this makes perfect sense. Generally, the UI will have a more descriptive name for a constant than textual data files will, especially in applications which have localizations (where the localizations aren't always by the same people who wrote the backend).

Thanks for the report,

Its not really a bug, but more of an inconsistency, so i will move this to minor issues for now

Its not a bug, the json can use any synonyms:

"very-high", "very-big" and "very-good"
