@snoog said in New Map Generator Options:
Alpha client UI is severely lacking in options as well, I hope more are added before release. Why are the only resource options Basic, Low_Mex, and Water_Mex? Besides just lacking descriptions what they even are, only 3 options?
Before there were only three options as well. You just couldn't select them directly. Instead you had the mex slider that acted as an input to these three options and drove the amount of mexes that got spawned. When I discussed the generator options rework with Sheikah I argued that we will at least need the mex slider in the future, but we couldn't reach an agreement. So we first implemented the parts that we could agree on. That is what you see now. If the community has a strong desire to have the mex slider back it could be implemented again.
What's definitely not coming back are the water, plateaus, mountain and ramps sliders. You are supposed to use a fitting terrain style instead.
The mex and reclaim slider are a different deal. I guess that the mex slider is desired the most. I'm not sure about the reclaim slider as reclaim is not directly visible on the map preview and there are various different reclaim (prop) styles to choose from, so it could be that they already give a broad enough range to choose from.
I'd like to hear some input from the community on this.
