Watched that several times, but I'm trying to make a 16k map so the size for one is 16384x16384 and Gimp says that is 2.5Gb and too large for it to make.
OK, so I ignore that, on to changing the foreground (white by default in the fill tool) I set L to 30 then right? Because it changes the color to something like orange (I think, colorblind here). Is that OK?

OK, so i got a biomes.png how I want...
Now I need to figure out how to do the heightmap.

Flaming? Who's flaming? I'm just trying to make a map like the preview I posted and I can't figure out how, I'm frustrated for sure. But I'm not flaming anyone.
Sorry if you misunderstood, I'm upset with KingGen, not any of you. I appreciate the help.
Just saying this should be way easier to do. I can't be the only person who likes flat maps so why not make it easier in the program to do this.
See how it's totally flat? There is snow in the north and desert in the south with forest in the middle. Lots of large cities and traders. Maybe one of you can make this map in KingGen for A20 and upload it someplace where i can download it. I am trying to do a 16k map.I'm just unable to comprehend how to do it in these tutorials. So many settings in Gimp and the tutorial is for maps with biomes scattered throughout. Nothing like what I'm looking for. I have PSP but it won't make an image this big, not enough memory. I can't afford to buy Photoshop and all the extras to make it work, and I'm not going to get a college degree in photoshop just to make an image. I find photoshop to be user unfriendly and totally un-intuitive so I don't use it.
I'm also colorblind. So trying to do this by color is really difficult for me.

OMG, what a hassle to do this. But the thing is "WHY". Why can't this map generator generate the heightmap? Why do I gotta go though all this just to make a flat map?
Why is there not just a button that you click on to set the thing to make a flat map? Did you intend for only computer programmers with a doctorate to use this thing?
In the Navy we used to say "Keep it simple, stupid." because things need to be simple so that everyone can use it. I never had to do anything like this in NitroGen.
I don't see any tutorial for how to make a simple flat map either. Sorry, but IMO this KingGen sucks.

you have been told how to do it several times.
Under Advanced customization the first item is Custom Height map select.
use GIMP it is free.
water level is default at 43 and cities at 60. so make apng the size of your world and fill it with a grey colour of 60,60,60 RGB.
export it as a .png and then select the file with the custom height map select.
go to the first page of this thread and look for the excellent tutorial from Tallman Brad.
Yeah well I guess I'll look at the tutorial because I don't understand what you mean. Like exactly how big the .png would be or what to do with it. I thought this program could make a map itself but if I gotta go though all that hassle and make my own map then why bother?

How do I moved a repaired stove, or build a damaged stove to repair in my base?
This seems less than useful if it can only be used on stoves found in random houses.Yeah I tried to use this mod and you are right, you can't have a working stove in your base unless you take over a house with a broken stove in it for your base.
Would be much better if it worked on an "Old Stove" or "Wall Oven" that you buy from the trader, or if you could just build one, so you can place it where you want.0 -

The only way you are going to get a perfectly flat map in KG is to import one, its very very easy to do.
OK, so where can I find a map like what I want to import?
Can I import one from NitroGen? See this is what the preview looks like from a map I made in NitroGen that I like.

Have you tried setting the terrain roughness to none?
Yeah, i set anything that seemed like it would make the map as flat as possible. There aren't really that many settings in here.

How about Stainless Steel for A20? They took it completely out of the game, it's not in the creative menu anymore. Is it possible to make a modlet for that?
I got the FGStainless mod for A19, but it doesn't work for A20.

Updated the "Working" Modlets so that stone axes work with the kits now as well as nailguns and hammers
Heh, have you tried MadToker's Killer Stone Axe? He made the first version of it and I have been keeping it updated since he quit. It modifies the base Stone Axe instead of adding a new one. You can play through the whole game with just this axe...lol.
The Killer Stone Axe is a beast, I have it on Nexus Mods site.Also I keep RussianDude's grasscutter going I keep on Nexus for others to enjoy. I have a personal version of it that I made into the ultimate weapon that chops Zeds up from 120m away at 100 entity damage and 900 swings a minute. It's hilarious to watch and will get you though a Blood Moon easily. These are just for fun though, serious players who like a challenge would probably hate me, heh. But I don't care, the whole point of playing a game is to have fun, right? Not everyone has fun the same way.

You can set mountains to 'none' or upload a completely gray, mono-colored heightmap.
Yeah, I set mountains to "none", there are still lots of hills that are almost as big as mountains. Don't know about "mono-colored heightmaps". In Nitrogen I just set it to generate a map with no mountains or hills and got a perfectly flat map every time. Also I liked how you could set NitroGen to have snow in the north and desert in the south with forest in the middle. This KingGen map has biomes scattered everywhere totally random.
Damocles did a fantastic job with NitroGen, crying shame he had to quit updating it. Really I wish KingGen would have all the settings in it like NitroGen did. The first time I used NitroGen I got a great map exactly how I wanted. Still use it today actually in A19. It does work in A20 but like someone else said all the POIs have sharp jagged borders. Horrible maps in A20.0 -
I have been using NitroGen because it seems more user friendly and intuitive. It has way more settings to choose from than KingGen, and it can make a totally flat map, something I can't get KingGen to do at present.
Don't really like A20, lots of stuff I don't like about it. For one they completely removed Stainless Steel from A20. It used to be still in the creative menu, but I guess some dev got a hair up his butt and removed it. Can't find a mod to bring it back, might not even be possible.

So how the heck do you generate a flat map? I set everything I could see to make it as flat as possible, but it's not flat at all.

Yeah I found the problem, my anti-virus was blocking it.

Sounds like KingGen cannot access a file named king_gen_config.txt because of some permissions issue. Perhaps KingGen needs read-write access and it only has read-only access? Perhaps you're running KingGen as a different user and there's some ownership issue for the file?
Well there is only 1 user on this PC, me cuz I built it and I don't share.
But really all I did was download it and open it up, click on Generate and got that error.

What does this mean and how do I fix it?0 -
Need working Ovens and Sinks. Stainless Steel would be nice too. They keep taking it out of newer versions.

OK, well is there one that works for A20 now? Man all these updates are really messing my mods up.

NitroGen v0.501 A19 (experimental) A19 experimental version <<- Bad link.
I wanted to try this one because v0500 made a map with no clay deposits.

Yeah, I found vA19 .4.1 on the download page on github. I didn't see it in this thread so I didn't even know it was there

Does this work for A19? Is there a version that does?

Can you make a working sinks mod for A19?
