You are correct, changing the seed does not seem to work within the editor anymore.

As others have said, seed is just another way to say random basically. Sometimes when placing a distribution I'll just change the seed if the original placement bothers me for whatever reason.

When using the scale option, the randomize option is pretty handy to keep things well... random. I often use scale along with randomizing on rocks to create a large variety of sizes.

Well, I don't know what changed but using the same process I've tried before I was finally able to recover my long lost map. Now I just need to add some things back in that it could not recover.

Oh yeah?

My issue happened just before the workshop was available.

No solution that I know of. Had a similar issue (accidentally deleted the .XML) and never found a solution. At least your map was on the workshop though. Mine is gone completely and forever since I never got the chance to release it.

As far as I know, it's the same as the AUT (Autumn) mutator in that it only changes the color palette. Right?

Yeah reinstalled and started fresh. Just need to wait for my friend to play to test it again. Thanks for the info.

Quick question about the mod and using it in multiplayer. It seems to work OK in singleplayer and in the editor but while playing with a friend last night in MP who doesn't have it installed, it only popped up for me when he would alt-tab in and out of the game.

So, my questions are:

Is this normal, and would him installing it solve this issue for me? I assume so but was curious.

Is there a setting (file check?) or something I can modify to allow it to work for me even if he doesn't have the mod installed?

Thanks for any info.

Looks like it's coming along nicely.
