Dynamic Map Size (QoL: Multi-tool)

Here is the snapshot version of this mod.

Dynamic Map Size (Read desc. You'll like it.)

• Create maps at any size you want.
• Choose custom width and height before settlement.
• Adjust or remove border limits.
• Safely reroll maps in-game (your pawns will stay untouched).
• Instantly open the mod menu by using the Right Shift key.

Overview

• Set custom map dimensions before generating a new settlement map.
• Asymmetric sizes are fully supported (for example, 300x500).
• Customize playable and buildable areas by adjusting border limits, with dynamic boundary visualization that updates instantly when border values change.
• Use a one-time override for the next map, or keep a persistent override for every new map you generate.

Recent Changes (Update: REFORGED)

• Complete UI revamp for both main and side menus with a cleaner layout and stronger visual hierarchy.
• Improved English across labels, descriptions, tooltips, and warnings.
• Main menu safety lock added: controls remain greyed out until a save is loaded.
• Buttons and toggles automatically unlock after entering a save.
• Playable/buildable boundary visualization now updates dynamically when border values change.
• Fixed desynchronization between gameplay limits and visual boundary lines.
• Removed the implicit 64 border assumption; higher values are now supported when map size allows it.
• General polish and cleanup of UI flow and internal logic.

Main Features

• Custom Map Sizes: Create maps ranging from 30x30 up to 1000x1000.
• Asymmetric Maps: Width and height can be set independently.
• Settle Popup Selection: Choose your map size directly before settlement generation.
• Next Map Only Mode: Applies the custom size once, then returns to normal behavior.
• Always Override Mode: Automatically applies your selected size to every new map.
• In-Game Shortcut: Instantly open mod settings (default key: Right Shift).

Playable / Buildable Area Controls

• Custom Border Rules: Adjust buildable, zoning, and settlement edge distances.
• Expanded Border Support: Supports border values above 64 when map size allows.
• Remove Map Limit Option: Enables full playable and buildable map coverage.
• Dynamic Boundary Visualization: Boundary lines update instantly when border values change.

Current Map Reroll (Experimental)

• Recreate the currently loaded ground map with a new target size.
• The map is regenerated during the process.
• Your pawns will stay untouched.
• Useful for testing or adjusting map scale mid-run.
• Please back up your save before using this feature.

World Reroll (Experimental)

• Returns to the vanilla "New Colony" setup flow and generates a new world.
• Useful if you want to restart world generation without leaving the session.

UI and UX

• Fully redesigned UI with improved layout consistency and readability.
• Cleaner and more natural English text across menus and tooltips.
• Interactive controls remain locked in the main menu until a save is loaded.
• Controls unlock automatically once a save is entered.

Odyssey Behavior

• When in Odyssey orbit/space contexts, runtime map-size override is disabled for safety.
• Settings can still be edited so they are ready for the next ground map.

Compatibility

• No known compatibility issues at this time.

Performance

• Very large maps may reduce TPS/FPS and increase generation or save/load times.
• Recommended range for most systems: 250x250 to 350x350.

• Free to use, modify, and redistribute.
• Credit must be given to the original author and please include a link to the original Workshop page when redistributing or publishing modified versions.
