Welcome feature: A game setting that determines the minimum distance to your closest neighbor

[DeckerdJames]

A game setting that determines the minimum distance to your closest neighbor. Even if it has to change the size of the map accordingly. If I have 12 players and I choose a minimum distance of 10, then it has to apply that to all 12 players, so if I had chosen a standard map size, it will increase the size of the map to accommodate all players that minimum space.

Bonus: the game could be able to warn the player if the chosen settings will tax the computer too much and inform the player what the recommended specs are for such settings. There will probably be a maximum that can be set, like 10,12, or 15. A slider would be fine.

Maybe, there could also be a setting for maximum distance for those players that like a cramped game.

I don't suggest that these setting are used by default. A standard game will still be as it is. Unpredictable. It is just that sometimes you know you don't want to play a cramped game. There are many settings for flavor, and this would also be a welcome one.

I wouldn't see this implemented in a way that can change the map size, but more so simplistic "Close", "Far", "Very Far" enum that sets the numbers based on map size - that'đ how much of the things generating map work. But a good idea overall.

There will be a mod for this if they don't include it.

Seems pretty basic now, don't know why they wouldn't include it.
