meaning you create a map then expand it to 4/4 that first map is what i meant as section one. I have 24 maps fully expanded to 4/4 hung on a wall so i'm aware of how maps works. when i go to a new area and create a map then go to another area and expand it then it reverts to the area where it was expanded. i carry paper with me to expand the map where its created to avoid this glitch.
i'm guessing you mean the comment part? so if i go to a new location and create a map in lets say section 2. if i then go back to section 1 and expand it then it erases everything explored (apparently its intentional for a map to be erased when expanded) but as i move around in section 1 the map is revealed so essentially where the map is expanded is where the map gets assigned to. so a map created in section 2 then expanded in section 1 becomes a map of section 1.
i always spawn at the same point above my base so i created a "pool" for the next time i get spawned and hopefully that will break my fall.
forgot to mention that if you expand the map outside of the place you create it then it gets "recreated" for the area where you expand it.
if its not happening for you it may be just a glitch in my world. i have a work around for it so i'm not that worried about it. ty, you can close it out as resolved.
