Where does the "map" get placed for wgen commands?

[mildly_upset]

I am running a worldgen command, specifically the following

/wgen regions ore 9 cassiterite

and the console outputs "cassiterite ore map generated" but offers no further information.

I assume this map is either places somewhere inside the game program itself, or is a separate file that I need to find using a file explorer. I tried looking it up in the wiki, but nothing came up other that a simple description of the wgen command.

Do we know where the map is placed once it is generated?

I don't know about ore maps. Are they server side? Stored in the main Save? Not sure.

Try starting here. I don't know if it will help, but try it   - you might be able to rule this location out at any rate. These might just be for the maps  you see as a player top right.

EDIT
I may have misunderstood the question.

Anyway, note on that page this comment:
"Radius can only be up to 2 - larger radius doesn't seem to show more. May require increasing viewing range."

Also this comment on an earlier worldgen map command on the same page:
". . . saved where the game executables is located."

EDIT - SOLUTION

Ok, Peoples. I have my act together now!

A command such as:
/wgen regions ore 2 cassiterite
 

As referenced in https://wiki.vintagestory.at/VintagestoryData_folder

Is indeed ". . . saved where the game executables is located."

On my system, this is where I manually told it to put "Vintagestory.exe", but it may be different on your system.

After running the command, you will see an update to the "General" tab:
"cassiterite ore map generated."

And a new file such as this:
map-ore-cassiteritearound-50-51.png

Which when opened will show something like this:

Thanks for staying with me!

Okay this is excellent, thank you so much! I have found the "maps" folder that you referenced (I suppose I should have guessed it would be in the AppData directory). It cannot find any png files in there, but I feel that might be user error.

Thanks again!
