Even with water disabled, once I use the Mod to change a map setting, any new area explored will have water.

I confirmed that unchecking the Water box doesn't work. Setting Coverage to 0 will work if you just want a solution.

I don't know if I can fix it today and I'm busy for the next 2 days but I will look at it sometime soon.

edit: Sorry for delays but I have not been playing video games at all these last weeks and am still busy for 2. It is just the worst time. I would try harder if there weren't a workaround, but there is. I will fix this after finishing my project!

I had water fully disabled on map creation and used this mod to tune some ore settings, now water is generating on my world and I didnt even touch it, nothing I do disables it again, help!!!

I can look at the map if you send me it to "morsk" on Discord. I have to sleep in an hour though so if I don't see you immediately, it might take 12 hours. I have finished my other things so I can finally finish this this weekend, and maybe tomorrow.

Sorry everyone. I have decided I won't fix this until I play Factorio again, which might not happen. I'm not confident I can do it without creating new bugs. As this has a workaround (setting Coverage to 0), it is possible a fix would make it worse, not better. I am leaving it alone.

Changing map settings without making things worse is difficult since Space Age, and needs to be done by someone who still plays the game. I am going to make it worse.

I recommend replacing this from scratch. The mod was years old when I updated it for 2.0, and I did it in a rush. I felt it was an emergency to help players who started maps incorrectly in 2.0 and needed to fix them. Many of my changes were kludges, and I always intended to rewrite it all.

But it is open source and no one needs my permission to update it.

Most of all, you want to generate UI elements programmatically instead of coding in so many things, in so many different places.

Again, I may rewrite it if I play Factorio again ever. But no one needs to wait for this.

I can still look at Chelsy5's map if they send it to me, although I expect it's fixed by setting Coverage to 0.
