The issue with map generators I’ve had is there’s never enough control over things like the shape of the landmass or the location of towns. I’ve tried to find a proper map creator, but so far there’s been nothing satisfactory

The one I used just makes a globe, I still wanted to sort out the details of everything myself, even though I never get around to it

I agree with that. When using an algorithm someone else made you lack a certain level of control. The problem for me is I'm not skilled enough in art or cartography to make a map or a map that's at all convincing. So far I've mostly focused on creating cultures, creatures, and landmarks, then placing then in general areas that makes sense to me. I'll hopefully be able to refine the map as I go on.

Yeah, I feel you lol. I need to just start working on cultures etc

Everyone has their limitations. I sure do. Just gotta work on those aspects you're bad at. I can only write things down so my main limitation is not knowing any artistic skill.
