Is there a way by now to create custom maps?

[Maniac]

I want to play this game but i have a specific vision for the map i want to play and the random generated maps are always missing something i want.

So is there a way by now to do this by the game itself or via mods?

okay, doesnt seem to be what im looking for since it only kinda random generates a world on presets/settings.
I really need a tool so i can kinda build my own map.
Place mountain, river, cave, ruin tiles by myself

You can always brute force your map via dev mode. Just clear everything and spawn all the stuff you want. Will take a lot of time but you can create the map how you want tile by tile.

the problem with random generation is that i probably need to generate hundreds of maps to get one which is exactly how i want to, even to have one which is very close it will take many trys.

my vision of the map is to have alot of mountains, a natural cave system leading to a valley where a river flows through

getting all 3 parameters at the right position and right size is pretty hard to generate

You could always start with prepare landing mod, especially using god mode in that mod:

Yes but using it with the Map Designer mod gives you a much closer shot. I think there were some mod creator presets that sounded close to what you describe and virtually impossible to get with plain random - something like a canyon that you could adjust, looked cool, haven't played the map though.

yea, it could be possible to get it, but something weird is that i had no caves yet even tho its enabled in the mod settings

Map Designer + Map Reroll to modify the "inside" of a tile

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2314163152

that to modify tiles themselves on a worldmap

for modifying the local tile use map designer to change settings to get an idea of what you want THEN use map reroll to get as close as you can

only other thing you can do i think is developer settings to change the terrain and hand craft the map

Map reroll doesnt seem to work properly.
Often the preview is not the same as the generated map

The randomness of a map is what makes the story fun, but I get what you mean by feeling like a map isn't perfect

IIRC there is an 'accurate preview' option that can be checked (for a performance cost)

hm dont seem to work, some maps are still totally different from the preview

and its always the maps which look good for some reason XD

You could always get close to what you want with the above mods then tweak it further with the console commands in dev mode.
