I've been trying to use the map designer to create some maps, and... I can't really seem to figure out what the slider bars do. Obviously the adjust what the title near them says, but there is no even basic indicator as to what moving the bar to the right or left, green or red, does.
For example, the size of the map, does red mean smaller and green bigger?
How about phase length, does green mean longer or shorter?
What about phase chance? Is green more likely and red less likely?
Orbit radius? etc.
I've been messing around with it, and for whatever reason I can never seem to get short phase paths. The starting colony is always is very isolated, and I don't really know how to fix that.
I've tried the forge thing, and it seems too hard to just create a random map. Everything has to be pretty well placed.
Any help with any of the above questions would be appreciated.
