Swapping prefabs between A 16.4 and A 17.1

So far I have not found 100% reliable answers for the following questions so I'll ask them here and please excuse if it has actually been answered before on this forum:

1. Can I transfer Vanilla prefabs straighth from A 16.4 to A 17 (b240) ?

2. Can I transfer Vanilla prefabs straighth from A 17 (b240) back to A 16.4 ?

3. Can I transfer prefabs made with the A 17 in-game editor back to A 16.4 ?

I ask becuase I have put considerable time into some large prefabs in A 16.4. which I would like to upload once they are finished and need to know for which versuion they are usable. I also have tinkered together an A 16.4 world that i still like playing and want to use the new A 17 editor to create new ones if that is possible.

 
If you go into game configs folder look for xml a16prefabconverter.xml read all in green fairly easy to do takes a couple min to do.

 
A17 has blocks A16 had notHad A16 blocks A17 has not ?

Yes, but that's not a big problem imo.

@TheStoryteller01

1. Yes (may require additional effort though).

2. No. Might be somehow possible if you mean very small prefabs that consists of blocks that already existed in A16 but there is no easy way to backport prefabs.

3. (see 2).

I converted my 1.9 million block hotel and theme park etc quite easily to a17. He will have to remake the world tho using the world editor. But the prefabs he can bring over regardless of size

Storyteller asked for both ways.

I guess you oversaw that

Yes size doesn't matter. I was thinking about really small prefabs like road signs (yes there are prefabs that only consist of one road sign^^) and small shacks. Stuff that the fun pimps haven't touched since a16 or POIs which are new but don't have any of the new A17 blocks. I don't know if such prefabs exist btw. but the bigger a POI is the more likely it contains new blocks. That's why I mentioned the size. ;)

yes true it is possible tho to get a16 prefabs onto a17 as they are to a point. Someone else is working on this to to get a16 vanilla non dungeon pois to a17. but yeh a17 to a16 i doubt is possible unless you add in a17 blocks to a16 then you got to make sure a16 has the code that the new blocks use etc to . possible but as you said time consuming and headaches.
