Great to see you cover both what you should do and what can go wrong with respect how to fix it when it does go wrong.

[@Vedui42]

Thank you Jim! Some of these things (like everything) don't always work as expected, so I try to cover some issues that I've seen come up :)

[@mp63au]

I imported a poi into a new world before starting a game, when i started the game i spawned beside the base with nothing and no quests to do, its a bit tricky but fun to do. Thanks as always for the informative vid.

[@Vedui42]

Great! Yes, I think using a previous base can be a great way to change up your gamestyle...as opposed to having the usual "Lost in the Wilderness" start, you could import a POI as a starter location. Heck, to make it more fun, edit it in the prefab editor and ADD a tonne of zombie sleepers, forcing you to CLEAR it before you can use it again :D

[@raven8432]

Always enjoy your tutorials, question 🙋🏽‍♂️ will this work from any version or is it only on certain versions like 19.1 and up?

[@Vedui42]

Hello! Prefabs "in general" work the same, however the chunk reset command was only implemented in the later alphas (either A20 or A19, I can't recall if A19 has it). Prior to the chunk reset command, you either had to deploy the prefab in a non-generated area, or even delete the WHOLE region (512x512) area in order to then get it to regenerate and show up. SO the chunk reset command is really really useful :) And thank you Raven! :)

[@TheBigfoot425]

If you import a prefab and your friends play on your pc do they also need to have it imported? noob question I know lol

[@Vedui42]

In general yes. In a sense, importing a prefab (a new one you made or exported for instance) modifies the game, which also means all players should have it installed, just like any non-xml mod :)

@@Vedui42 gotcha thank you

[@ruychavez6242]

I Have a question I'm trying to insert a Prefab POI on my NAVEZGANE copy, but it's an underground base, whenever i try to insert it, seems like it bug the ground making me float, and not letting me touch the ground. Why? What am I missing? (ALPHA 21)

[@Vedui42]

Do you mean your prefab is floating? If that's the case, might want to make sure there is no extra blank space under the prefab, ie, airgap?

[@ruychavez6242]

@@Vedui42 i already fixed it, but i have a new one question. I have navezgane copy world edit, then I copied some POI's tier 5 on it, all works as it supposed to be, except one. Red Mesa POI... I've tried to CR on world edition, in my currente saved game... I've replaced POI, I've deleted it, and put it again, and nothing seems to work. I just got a huge RED list on my F1 list, something like this: ERR is MovementBlocked "NameofItem" at -580 , 41, -1896 has child parent, "NameofITEM" at -578, 41, -1897... Any idea?

[@gloriouschannel3683]

AWESOME thank you!!! this helped a lot. alpha 21.2 B30

[@Vedui42]

Glad it helped!

[@bigblack2295]

When you edit pregen maps will it be a new custom map ? Will new players download the map file from the server during first joining?

[@Vedui42]

Yes, if you see it, they should too. The map file download initially is just the "world" file, not the chunks, those get transfered when someone gets close enough :)

[@bigblack2295]

@@Vedui42 thanks

[@Sarcoma1]

i world i build tower and it is pregen world and i exported that poi and the want to export it again to map but i cnat map is duplicated and our base is no more there??

[@Vedui42]

Not really sure I follow what you refer to. Importing needs to be done on a non-generated chunk/region, but also forcing refresh like I do in the video often works.

[@michaelredding4384]

Is there anyway after importing in to make it so its no longer a poi? Making frequent updates to servers terrain and just want people to be able to continue working on their bases without having to start over, feel like being turned into an actual POI will have conflicts. Not sure though.

[@Vedui42]

You might be able to get it placed with everything generated.. and when you can see it in the game, go into the POI xml file and delete the entry. That way while it's been generated IN the chunks and exist, it's no longer tagged as a POI as it's not in the poi list :) keep in mind, this means it'll vanish if there's no land claim block and chunk reset is enabled.

[@Bako751]

I keep trying to place trader Jen, and the POI explodes when I place it down. It's so frustrating

[@Vedui42]

Wait, poi explodes? Yikes. Could it be it's being imported with a gap, thus the airgap makes it collapse?

[@Bako751]

@@Vedui42 I'm honestly not sure why it was doing it. Reloading the chunk fixed the POI though, so that's that I guess. I do know, I tried placing a POI I found online, an amusement park, and in the prefab editor it's perfectly fine. But in the world editor, it pasted in as literally nothing. Im assuming since it's an alpha 21 prefab, but not sure. Still new to the world editor tools. The video was super helpful though!

[@Vedui42]

Could very likely be due to a21 prefab, they do change some things in between versions. HOPEFULLY with us being 1.0 it's not going to be an issue going forward.

Kewl, thanks for sharing By the way….you sound like Elmer Fud

He's awesome! And I've been told so before! Wish I was as famous! ;) Actually no. I'm glad I'm not as famous :D

[@Telesto13S]

Is it fine to use "7800X3D" OR is it better to buy a more expensive CPU for Mods ?

[@Vedui42]

Not sure how powerful it is, but normally any modern cpu would be "alright" even though of course the better it is the better the game runs.

[@kreozello]

Fine? It's amazing, bro! My friend hosted a server in 20 alpha (Undead Legacy modded) with that CPU + 32GB on 6000MHz + RTX4090.Worked FLAWLESSLY! I host server for me and my friend on 5600x and it's usually runs very nicely!

[@Abrogator91]

So now that your base is in the game's POI listing, does that mean that it will be automatically added to new randomly generated worlds?

[@Vedui42]

I believe not. In order for them to be added to generated worlds, there are a bunch of tags which need to match too, I believe.

[@Abrogator91]

@@Vedui42 Ok sounds good! Thanks!

[@alexanderrain5174]

Will this work in 1.0? Because I tried. And I cant seem to get it =/

[@Vedui42]

Yes generally it works. There are some cases where the game simply refuses to load it though, and I'm not sure why. Usually refreshing the chunk a few times help, or reloading the save.

[@EnigmaticSnowQueen]

What key did you use to teleport??

[@Vedui42]

In debug mode I think it's shift and right click on the map. :)

[@alexanderrain5174]

I can get this to work xD I am on 1.0. It might be different. I cant figure it out. Any help would be awesome! :D Thanks! :D

Yep! Don't lose your bases!

Followed this step by step and it didn't work.

Did you cr f to try to reset the chunk?

These editing tools are dick. I hope they fix them in the future

They're really not meant for players to be honest. They're really .. bare.

if you could just learn how to teach just a little, youd be dangerous. but you cant seem to. look up the concept of EMPATHY and study it. learn it, know it, then you may become jedi some day. not until then.
