So I made a base in A17.4 that I'm pretty happy with; and wanting to keep it, used bc to export the prefab and then the in-game A18 prefab editor to finish it.

I might have gotten a little carried away. With the underground garaging & NSEW access portals and all the farming+ residential levels, the prefab is 168 blocks square and 63 high. Some 1.3 million blocks :crushed:

This seems to quite badly break re-importing it - it only seems to partly load the prefab, leaving whopping great holes in the ground or great missing transparent gaps in the renderer.

Any solutions to this? I've played around with placing it in-game with DM, BC and the world editor.

Wondering if I need to chop the fab into sections and import each one individually and hope it doesn't kill the structure?

Ideas? Thoughts? Lolz?

 
I recommend using nitrogen. 7 dtd rwg is broken as hell when it comes to spawning in bigger prefabs. The mixer itself isn't 100% either . But nitrogen (found in the tools section) works

 
Have any screenshots of the issues?

Whoops, didn't think to SS broken inserts. Going to have a play in the WE sometime tonight and see how it goes.

Original world was generated with Nitrogen. Now I've picked a nice spot and want to add my base in.

It was the previous v430 Ntrogen so I don't know if that's the issue?

I've downloaded the newest and we'll see if it can gen a world I like :) I don't see a way to insert a particular prefab at a certain point though?

edit: damn, but does Nitrogen need an option: generate "X" worlds

You should still be able to use the insert prefab command in the console still.

Yeh 0.441 is a great update

 
Wanna see big look at my hoteldestallion and that spawns lol. 1.9 million blocks.

It is also a part of my bigger (not released) airport which is like a city in itself lol. But haven't got to it in a18 but spawned in a17
