1. Appdata is not a hidden folder as far as I'm concerned, many games put saves in this folder, and there's no problem with copying them. Why would I imagine that this game is any different. Are you saying there's no way to edit campaign maps? In fairness copies of them should be alongside the other prebuilt maps in the editor by default.

2. I know this doesn't happen for all saves, just campaign maps. I alluded to this in my first reply.

3. Fair enough, the mirror does work, even if it works in a way that nobody would ever think of and would only discover by accident or by being told.

4. So what you're saying is that this, the way I've made it will never work:

I can't recreate this map via creating a new map since there's no copy/paste function, and even if I placed each tile by hand (18750 tiles, using mirror) it probably wouldn't work because the map would reset to a blank slate when i tried to play it. I'd say that could be concisely summed up as a map editor where everything needs fixing.

PS. I personally thought hemorrhagic fever was quite a nice touch, each to their own.

I highly doubt i'm the first to encounter these bugs, just the first to report them. If you import a save from the saves folder in appdata and save it in editor, then go to custom game and play said map it wont save when you quit This happens for all maps imported in this way. And no, ofc i'm not expecting editing a save to change the file itself.

I tried making a copy of glacier, then adding in an enemy spawn, editing enemy waves checking all the boxes you need in the menu, but when you run it, you'll get wave timers and the audio cue when a wave starts, but no enemies spawn.

As for the mirror mechanics, i'm not talking about that stupid ore generation feature, i'm talking about a mirror than will mirror any tiles you place on one side of the map on the other side of the map, but I think you already knew I was talking about this.

Does that clarify things for you? 

Everything about the map editor needs to be fixed. If you try to create a new map it will revert to a blank slate upon playing, if you try to import a map from a save file, say to edit a campaign map, the map will not save when playing it, if you try to make a copy of a prebuilt map and add waves and an enemy spawn it won’t work, there’s no copy/paste and mirror mechanics. It’s like going to a doctor with 5 different cancers, hemorrhagic fever and the bubonic plague and saying “cure me”

fix the map editor
