The "Play" Button and Testing Maps?

[Farmie2018]

Hi,

Forgive me if this is (yet another) duplicate post. Believe me, I searched high and low for my answer but with no luck...

I'm new to the Giants editor. I'm following YouTube videos, etc and making progress. But, I don't know how to test my map. I see there is a "Play" button in the editor but when I push nothing seems to happen.

How does one test a map? I'm assuming it's not as complicated as zipping up the folder and putting into the mods folder and starting the game, correct? That just doesn't sound efficient if so.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

F.

it is not necessary to zip the map
you can push the complete map folder in the mods-folder

Thanks. But do I have to start the game each and every time just to test??

No. Only abort the savegame. Back in thr main menü. Tab to the GE make changes. Save the map in the GE.
You must not end the GE. The map can stay open in GE. Only saving.
Then tab in the FS main menü and start a new game with the map
