Add basic_settings to MapSettings

Post by KiwiHawk »

When MapGenPreset.default is set to true, it's settings can't be specified. Instead, it pulls values from MapSettings. Or at least, it does for advanced_settings. However there doesn't seem to be any place to specify the values that will be used for basic_settings. Can these be added to MapSettings please?

Angel's, Py, and Space Exploration currently all have to use ugly workarounds for this limitation.

+1 yes please. This is really not a nice player experience. And many players will still miss this setting. I did the first time I played SE.
