Thanks for the help! Was fucking around with my base and didn't wanna accidentally lose it so I needed a way to save it, appreciate ya :)

[@Vedui42]

You're welcome! I'd suggest export it, then go into the poi builder and import to make sure it's all there before you mess around :D good to verify!

[@gamaximusaurelius8969]

Great video. Thank you!

[@Vedui42]

Glad you liked it!

[@Flappjacks]

Assuming my base can be placed on Google drive for people to download and place on their existing map? Will share this information and all credit to you. Super good stuff. Keep it up

[@Vedui42]

Yes they can. I'll make a video of how to import the base too on other maps :)

[@timetwist4653]

nice , thanks !

[@Vedui42]

Welcome!

[@capeeddy]

I'd like to know the steps to add it into the "POIs" folder so it will appear in a randomly generated map. Is that going to be included in your upcoming video?

[@Vedui42]

Hello! I've not actually thought about that, but will have to look into it. I know there's some POI tagging that needs to be done to define the POI, as it needs to be included in the actual generation. It's also a bit different from my (admittedly cursory) understanding, because it needs to be a certain size to be included straight up in the generation, as otherwise it needs to go into the legacy generation spawn plots somehow. So that is a great question :D Since there are some packs out there (compopack etc) that does this, that's a place to start looking at least :)

[@capeeddy]

@@Vedui42 Thank you very much.

May i ask how to add this pio in a existing save game? I tried putting it down inside a save game from myself, and in world editor it shows up but when i go back to my save game to play in my world its not there?

[@Vedui42]

Hello! Check the video I made a week or two after, I detail how to do it. Normally you need to regenerate the area, cr -f for instance when standing at it would work :) just be careful as it'll reset other chunks in the area too.

[@NL-Chaos]

@@Vedui42 yeah that works I have my base now, only 1 problem 😳 I now have a ghost base or well half (like sliced in half lenght wise) and when I reload again it's gone but when I walk away from the base it's there again but I cannot interact with it or remove it with a dev tool

[@Vedui42]

Weird! I've not seen that happen :(

[@chrisfoxstenquist]

I followed your steps but holding "shift+G" does not work in DM mode. How do i fix this? Yes, i am in A21.

[@Vedui42]

Check key bindings? That is weird. Did any change?

[@chrisfoxstenquist]

​@@Vedui42Nothing worked there. It even happens in the prefab editor.

[@chrisfoxstenquist]

@@Vedui42 I updated the ModLauncher and lost my save, I didnt back it up. That POI is gone.

[@skeletoncrew3110]

I had this problem too and figured out how to fix it. Assuming you rebinded G to something else, reset your settings to defaults and then it should work as long as you don't rebind anything to the G key. EDIT: Okay nevermind it's the "Drop Toolbelt Item" function. As soon as you remove the key binding or change it to something else, this feature doesn't work anymore... weird af.

[@chilimike6598]

Good thing to know. Lol take care to select ALL of the base floor to ceiling as made that once and can’t set it down without it collapsing in new game 😅

[@Vedui42]

Yes! I suggest taking 1 block below the base also to have a foundation, makes it easier to place later :D

[@dzudemlow]

I'm losing my mind and about to just uninstall... I got a huge base which was a Pass N' Gas that now has an underground garage. I followed like 10 videos now but it won't ever be placed, there's only the text of the file on the ground. Every other random god damn POI gets placed normally. What is wrong?

[@Vedui42]

Hmmm that is weird! So for placing other POI's it's alright,but the huge one does not work? I wonder if it's too big and that causes an issue? Try this: Generate a new world (world generator) ... then go to the generatedworlds and the correct world, and in the prefabs.xml substitute the name for YOUR poi into where it says another poi. I'm thinking that if it only puts the text on the ground that it's unable to FIND your poi, and thus instead of putting the poi it simply uses the name as a placeholder?

[@nukemman]

I can't find the zed key!

[@Vedui42]

Really? Mine has a big zombie (zed) on it ;)

[@Dajuann]

zed is z

[@Vedui42]

All zzzzzombies!
