New game start - Ship dock and placement of initial population.

I really like the feature that the Anno games have that allow you to Start the game in a ship and pick your starting dock location and the location. Let us decide.
I end up deleting and moving everything I can move at the start of these games so this would save time for me.
An alternate place for people to live, in the loading dock, or ship would also be good when first starting a map.
Also, about the starting resource building you scrap to get stuff.
More of these buildings, with random placements and amounts of 'loot' would be good, keeping in mind the total allowed by the startup settings.
Also, maybe something like the mod in Factorio that adds various random stuff around the map that you can salvage. (Some of this might be better as a mod by the way.)

Edit: The first sentence should be: ... your starting dock location and the location of the first population centers and potato market.
Moderaters: Please let me edit my initial posts after they are accepted.
Also, immediately accepting new threads, but additional posts have an Awaiting approval Status. What! The initial thread creation should also have this. It would also give me to reconsider and edit the new thread beginning thesis.
Or, Maybe give us 5 to 10 minutes at the start before saying accepted and removing the Edit button. (We are not in a race to get things done now.)
