sorry for russian

I'm confused, you didn't get it in the map editor, but while you were playing.

Which is still a bug, because normally you can't get achievements on edited maps.

I tried to reproduce it and I couldn't.
Could you please give me exact step by step reproduction of this bug?

When I start the map from map editor I get this:

I literally just opened free play mode. Guess I'll delete my saves and try to reproduce this again.
Edit: I can't seem to find the map editor save. Where is it located?
Edit2: Guess steam left some files after uninstalling the game, I'll try to reinstall it again, this time I will delete the files manually.

Yeah just tried it on a clean install with no saves.
1. Map editor
2. Load scenario
3. Freeplay
4. Load
5. Save and play

Can confirm. This also leads to this issue: 60219

Ok, now I get it, thank you for the explanation.
The result was, that this actually saved it directly to the freeplay folder, so it changed the freeplay. It would also cause, that whenever you would try to play the freeplay, you would always play this map instead of actually having randomly generated freeplay.

I fixed it for 0.16.44, so that resaving any map from a mod (including base) will save it in the user scenarios instead of the original location, so this doesn't happen.
