QoL: remember tile and map settings between sessions

[i-make-robots]

TL;DR
Please! Remember floor tile placement radius, map settings between game sessions.

Why?
QoL. Every morning I fire up my 900h factory and the first thing I do is re-tweak these settings. I also tweak the train view to turn off all the station names and the signals. If that could be remembered as well, it would be a kindness.

Thank you for the lovely game, stay awesome!

The map settings stay saved. Are you maybe clicking alt on your map view? That's what toggles it between default and your settings.

So even though it save the settings, it starts every session in default mode? ...Why would that even be a thing?

...because "Default mode" is the Default? And "Alt-Mode" is the Alternate view?

[i-make-robots]

I'll rephrase: how is anyone supposed to know that there's two modes? 8000h played and not once have i hit the alt key in map mode. I touched alt once in 2020 to turn on show-recipes and haven't been back since.

Why can't it remember that I'm in alt-map-mode between sessions?

It does remember it through sessions what I'm saying is you maybe click alt unknowingly and toggle it back to default from the alt view. It happened to me a lot when I got a new keyboard so might be happening to you? I've never had issues with the alt mode not saving session to session.

I can confirm that it does seem to remember the alt settings if i leave them just right when i quit.

However, the floor tile radius setting is not remembered.

Every time I start a new game; enter a train; and zoom out - the train map settings are reset.
I almost never need the station names, I'm either going to a place I know or using the search and then clicking.
