Continents is actually the default map type.

The map types are actually percentages of total water that's put on the map. We give it some rules, like "make sure it's a lake that's surrounded by water" and "don't have as much water as a water world"

We're not forcing it one way or the other when it comes to *where exactly* it puts that water, and having a central lake, or a lake that takes up half the map, or something else are all valid options.
