Save search results to ease embark scouting.
« on: September 23, 2012, 09:11:16 pm »

I'd like to see an option to save a particular search result so you can review it at a later time if your previous embark doesn't work out for whatever reason, so you don't have to complete a whole new search again.

This would make looking for a good embark location less time consuming and easier to find particular types of environments you're interested in playing with.

I think that this would save so little time in comparison to the time consumed by the acctual search. However I wouldn't mind having this.

Searching a large region with the site finder is pretty lengthy even on powerful PCs..

What I'd like is for the search to remember the previous search results when searching again, so that it would only search the regions that might be different. Like if you're narrowing the search criteria, it would only search within the previous results. And if you're widening the criteria it would exclude the previous results.

Yes, I have done too many searches where I forgot to enable or disable one thing, it would be nice to "refine" the search I already made, instead of searching the whole map again.
