This mod was made to solve a problem in Factorio, that when you open remote view (map) it is too zoomed in. No more needless mousewheeling outwards every time! In any case this is probably how map worked in Factorio 1.1 and before.
Extremely lightweight and should be multiplayer compatible. Has a per-player setting for "minimum" zoom level to not open map too near if you were for example configuring an assembler when you closed it last time. The "minimum" is internally maximum because the larger the value the closer it is to player.
