Inspired by the factorio team challenge scenario I would like to try making some different kinds of MP scenarios.

First stop was - Factorio -> Edit - Scenario -> team-production-0.3.9
This was not any help as there was just a square of concrete tiles.

Then I looked in the folder C:\Users\HeilTec\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\scenarios\team-production-0.3.9
and found that the areas are generated by a script. {1}
Since I wanted to edit the maps to be used in the scenario I like to try to make I struck a wall there too.

Then I when to a google search spree using "factorio map editor" as base search and adding words like scenario and surface, but wasted my time. no documentation nor tips on this problem was obvious.

As a last resort I went to the IRC channel #factorio on esper.net in the hopes of meeting some knowledgeable person or a developer even.

So here I am - still unable to find good use of the map editor and unable to just start on the scenario I want to make.

(added notes)
{1} The script looks like it was generated from a map with the many decimals in the positions. If I could see the script making that script it might help.

That is not a feature the map editor supports.

I am not trying to make another production challenge. My idea is just inspired by the challenge scenario.

I am looking for a way to create multiple surfaces by editing maps and a way to integrate them.
Obviously ~~some~~ much effort in scripting is needed for the logic and player control, but that is not the problem.

As an example imagine choosing among several different maps on entering a server.
Each map a natural looking world customized for the scenario play using map editor.

I think before the map editor can be useful Factorio needs to make clear how to edit a map, many maps (some surfaces) and a scenario and what follow after that is completely unexplored country.
