Save World Settings

[johnsonwax]

This is a really nice feature borrowed from Project Zomboid where you can set up your world gen settings - difficulty, spawn rates, all that jazz and then save it as a preset so that if you start a new play you can just select that preset, it'll set everything, and you can then tweak as desired. 

Generally just requires saving all that stuff off as a text file in the config space with an interface to do so and recall it. 

This can also be implemented as a 'regenerate world' setting that also pulls the seed from a previous save, populates all the settings and allows you to tweak from there.

Yeah it'd be cool if we had a more efficeint and clear way to do this but we CAN do it.  Here's how.

Create the world you wanna template with all the settings you wanna save.  Name it something descriptive like "lone survival island template" or whatever works for whatever youre saving.

World Menu

click on that world's edit button on the right side

click the copy button next to Playstyle

Create New World

Customise

Hit 'ctrl+V'

The world you are now editing has been loaded up with all of the template world's customisation settings without copying anything else.  Tweak as desired.

The 'ctrl+V' part is always what i have to look up.  It should be a button.  It's weird that we have to use the clipboard but it's functional.

See? There is a downside to using Vim.

I previously suggested something similar to this and completely agree that there should be some more accessible way to save custom settings. Hopefully there's enough interest in this for the devs to add it to the roadmap!
