I want to generate map with predefined (not random) shape - fractal based plots.

I found how to alter spawned objects, but not how to define water\ground distribution or placing object on predefined coordinates.

I missed something or this is not possible at current stage?

No way to modify the intrinsic map generation, but you could override it with your own stuff.

sadly.

i hope there will be some additional control over this in next versions

I hope so too because I have some grand ideas about map generation but I'd need rather low-level access to stuff to make it work.

Does chunk generation really take THAT long time that it's unfeasible to allow people to plug-in their own generator things?

i wrote custom world generators for minecraft multiple times.

on java, 16*16*128 blocks of data with 16 bit depth generated onfly faster then client can render them, ever with simplex with large amount of instances and octaves.

i just cant agree, factorio map extremely simple and 2d only, it feature no computation difficulty at all, ever if everything feature its own noise map, it will be 6 maps, i generated map with 64 maps just fine.
