Find Desired Location - Selectable Area
« on: March 03, 2017, 01:39:32 am »

Suggestion: Add the ability to select an area of the world map that will limit where the "Find Desired Location" will search.

Reason: Generally when choosing an embark site I'll already have an area in mind so there isn't much reason to scan the whole world for the desired parameters.  Limiting the search to a smaller area would hopefully reduce the search times and the amount of crashes that can occur (especially when used on large maps).  The reduced search time would be greatly appreciated especially when changing parameters currently means re-scanning the whole world.

+1 Also this would allow you to finally choose your neighbors.
