I'm not sure its a desirable feature either way. Live map generation,
great! But regenerating a map that was clearly premade and saved
(which is whats going on) is just going to bog the game down,
especially when generating map thumbnails in the map selector (which
is where i discovered this).

Live map generation should be done a different way, in my opponion.
Instead we should use (the more complicated) preset / randomized
generator value files. they would be in a seperate, but similair
window to the map picker. Just a button at the bottom "random maps" or
something like that. I'll try to build something like this when I get
the time.
