(start a new game, press shift+alt+r then start a new game again) Note that your modifications on this maps would then be lost. (Please note that i something leave the rebuild function activated in some releases. In the cases any modifications on 0/0/0 , 0/-2/0 , or 0/0/1 maps would be cancelled at game startup)
