Remember New Game settings

I looked briefly through the board and could not find a similar idea, so here goes...

Due to the way I play, I tend to start new games fairly often, and almost always with the exact same (non-default) preset. It would be nice if the game remembered my last used world creation settings so I don't have to always set resources to v. high/v. big/v. good.
I am aware of the option to "restart game," but I feel like having the world creation remember settings would add a lot of convenience for (hopefully) little work. I'm also unclear on how that plays with mods, as well as I might not always remember the preset I used for world creation.

As a workaround you can have it fill the world generation settings from an existing save:
  • Go to load game and select the savegame
  • Click on the Map Exchange String button on the bottom left and copy the displayed string
  • Go to New Game and paste the string into the Map Exchange String textfield
