this is a great tool! is it currently possible to adjust coastlines/rivers/forests/etc. if not, would it be something you considered adding?

This generator (like all my generators) has very limited editing capabilities. They will be expanded in the future, but I don't plan anything radical - this will not become a map editing application.

I don't see the context menu in my screen and I can't create a new map...help!

Right-click anywhere to open the context menu.

I'm not sure if I am missing it, but is it possible to save the map and changes, then re-upload it later to continue editing it?

You can save an unedited map by saving its permalink, but any changes you make to the map are not saved this way.

Would it be possible to get a save option in it later? I really love your work and this has helped a lot with world building.

Amazing as usual. I don't suppose, on the wishlist front - you could toggle a 'tilable' feature so that you can generate a map extending a side and keep expanding it that way?

With the current algorithms it's not possible. However, people ask about this surprisingly often, so guess I need to think about it...
