What to study

This is Dorfromantik's most designer-facing screen: the whole game reduced to sliders. Where most builders hide their spawn tables, Dorfromantik lets the player author them, bias the deck toward trees, cap the run at 25 tiles, tune how often quests appear, and then encodes the result as a shareable seed, so a ruleset becomes a social object: same seed, same map, same tiles, comparable scores. The UI lesson is that a cosy game's difficulty settings are content settings: there is no hard mode with tougher enemies, only a different tile mix and a different ask rate, and the panel says so plainly. Frame at about 2:28 in the Full Release Explanation Trailer (Steam; manual extraction, the panel is fully settled at 148s, after sliding in over 145-147s).

Screen inventory

• the Custom Mode rules screen is a two-column slider panel: at top the SEED CONFIGURATION header with a shareable seed string on a ribbon, 2mQYJV-1Lp4TR-1C4BL6, flanked by copy, import, dice and undo icons and back/play arrows, so a ruleset is a code you can hand to another player
• the left column, Probabilities, sets the tile mix with hex-thumb sliders: Houses 38%, Trees 75%, Fields 13%, Water pieces 13%, Train tracks 38%, the game's content distribution is exposed as five numbers the player can bias
• the right column, Other, sets the run shape: Initial Tile Stack infinite, Tile Limit 25, Quest Difficulty 1x, Quest Probability 0,25, Flag Quest Probability 10%, difficulty here is not enemy strength but how often the game asks for things and how long the run lasts
• the left logo-and-menu column persists (RESUME / YOUR GAMES / REWARDS), so configuration is one panel deep in the front end, not a separate settings ghetto; the slider thumbs are the game's own hex shape
