I noticed something strange when activating many modded planets in Space Age 2.0.71.

The longer the list of resources in the map generation, the more empty space is added at the top of the map preview – to the point where the default view of map preview is visibly off-center or even mostly empty.

After some digging, I can even see a visible difference between base game and space-age, without additional mods.

This is the map preview with the base game, scrolled all the way to the top. It looks fine. With space-age you see how the map preview, when scrolled all the way to the top, suddenly has a bigger empty space: This empty space gets more and more pronounced, the longer the list of resources gets.

This is base without space-age but with bobores by bobingabout (+all ores activated via mod settings) Bob's Ores settings to reproduce the above screenshot: Finally, when activating Space Age and the modpack loup-guide-galaxy, which adds a lot of planets with many resources, I see this as the map preview, when scrolled all the way to the top: I don't believe any one of these mods is doing something wrong. I think the map preview should not generate empty space under any circumstances.
