[MásloZMlékem]

I will glad to see a Map editor in this very good game ♥♥

AFAICS that's only a prefab editor, nothing to do with maps.

There is a 'world editor' button in Hal's tool (never tested).

Doesn't sound like is much used or even works, I've never heard here on the forums people saying: "Hey! Here's my custom made world map! Download it from this link and tell me what you think!". :-|

It should work but it's not as far in development as the prefab editor. I think that's why it isn't much used.

That's cool, they should use it to make multiple ready to play maps other than Navezgane. :-]

1) they are still building and adding to navezgane

2) they spent a huge amount of time creating the random generator so that players will never run out of new maps

3) they are tweaking the world building tools so that players can build custom maps for each other ready to play

The games simply not anywhere near done yet

As practice shows the random generated maps looks the same. Just some random variations of the same map idea. Random generator can generate millions but the same-looking maps. Hand-made maps are unique because different creators have their own vision about the map and the world.

You could make maps to gain even more friends.^^
I count on you.

I would, but my free gaming time is limited I'm sorry.
I was hoping more that some college student or some youngster like that could take the job?

It would be cool however to be able to generate maps from Random and then edit them in whatever way we need (or is it already working like that??).

Don't rely on younger generations. “They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.” ;)

I am not sure about that. I think you can use and edit the rwg maps. However, the tools for that seem to be very rudimentary.

In my spare free time, I am following a different approach: The editor allows you to import block lists. This feature could be used to import 3d models of landscapes. So you could create an area in a 3d program and import it to 7 days. Something like this:

It's also possible to create an own random map generator (but without buildings and there are a few other limitations atm).

I already managed to import this 3d dragon model:
