2.) When I set say... 40% Pine Forest, and 20% snow, desert, wasteland it'll generate the map. If i change it to 46/18/18/18 literally nothing will change or shift around to compensate for the new percentages. Just a carbon copy of the first map. BUT on the same vein... if i took the same 40/20/20/20 map and made it 34/22/22/22 it'll completely change the positioning of the biomes. And the on top of it...if i could change the world seed slightly, do the 40/20/20/20 mix again, then the 34/22/22/22 would not shift or change but the 46/18/18/18 would. Or going in either direction nothing moves, not even POI positions. 4.) The single biome map, pure 100% of any one, it just literally makes a small ring of pine forest in an arbitrary location. No spawn points inside that ring. It's just there like a weird pimple on the map that won't go away no matter how i shift POI, town, mountain, hill etc density. And in the event of a 100% pine forest biome map...it'll throw a random wasteland or desert (never snow though....) in the same fashion. No, no spawn exists in that random ring of biome when i do a 100% single-biome map. It's just... like I mentioned my above reply, like a pimple on the map.

I been tinkering with the RMG that was updated on 20.6 recently and I like the new options and the removal of the ambiguous "random". However, there are a few things that are bothering me with the RMG I'm trying to figure out. 1.) The "world seed" bit - outside of changing the flavor name of the map, does this actually DO anything significant? And yes, I do realize that towns/poi etc do change places if you fidget with world seed and make a new map but it still seems ambiguous in of itself. 2.) Biome percentages - i've changed these and got the EXACT same biome placements, like it didn't register the % difference at all. 3.) Map sizes - I appreciate the return of 4096 (and the addition of the odd sizes) but the RMG seems to not like these. I've made maps where no trader exists for some reason, or they literally all get clustered up in a 500-ish meter ring of each other. Setting Towns on few > default > many sometimes seems to slap them right next to each other. 4.) Single biome map - you can set a biome at 100%, all others at 0% and the RMG will STILL give you another biome for some reason. for instance, i wanted to do a 100% snow map but no matter what settings i used and what world seed i used, it gave me a tiny 50 meter circle of forest biome arbitrarily. this was on a 6x6, 8x8 and 10x10 (the supported pregen sizes). 5.) Burnt forest ?? - i only joined the forums relatively recently, but whatever happened to the burnt forest as a biome (it exists on Navazgane). kinda would be nice to make a 100% burnt forest biome map. I tried my best to go through the forums to see if any answers for what i put in this message existed, but I couldn't find any.
