Kethane Map

[Tokay Gris]

Since I use a kind of "save the whole save" as a failsafe, this question arose.

The kethane deposits are different in each save, yes? IIRC they are "created" when you start a new save.

But are they also different in a copy of an existing save?

And where are they stored? In the persistence-file?

They don't change just from copying a save file. There's a seed value that controls deposit locations.

Deposit and seed data (and revealed data) are stored in a SCENARIO node in the save file. You can look at it by searching the file for 'KethaneData'

Thanks! Found it.
