Yes, @Dakara The mod ensures the seed for map generation to be reset so you don't play always the same map when you have Persistant map settings enabled on Options and you play exactly the same settings again. Notice that if you change some of the map settings, like biome (this should be check)  or size, the seed will be reset. But if you keep the things same as game before you will playing the same seed until the end of times.

You just need to copypaste the .zip content into your mod's folder like \mods\ResetSeed

I think you can also just copypaste the .zip like: \mods\ResetSeed.zip but im not sure

So, all you need to do in vanilla is to keep the Biome setting random for this "bug" not to occur?

I guess that's right, but I'm not sure

I'll just add that the mod also fix the related map-scripts bug, which:

• can't often not be mitigated by changing map settings
• can be mitigated by disabling persistent match settings (I think?)

This bug for example triggered water levels rising on any map after you player the Flood map.

Oof, that's potentially game-breaking regression. Should be fixed upstream.

Good thing I avoid that map like a plaque.
