bases spawning into the ground?

is there like a generic auto height setting or do i have to individually set every base for auto height to true? the bases are spawning into the ground in water so boxes/turrets are in the water itself

by default all bases have an increased height of 1, and they will spawn normally unless they were not copied properly. you can use autoheight, but the base really should be recopied when it spawns underground or too far into the water

when copying a base, stand in the center, on the foundation, while looking at the foundation. verify with /paste before using it again. the top of the foundation should be near slightly above ground by about 0.2 to 1 meter (ideally 1.5 but that's difficult). the increased height of 1 will be sufficient to keep the majority of the base above ground. small sections of the base going into terrain is acceptable, and any boxes clipped under the terrain will be destroyed (by default) and have its loot moved into other boxes.

Really weird. I build all the bases that I use on ice lakes to be as flat as possible and have always copied them from the center

you can send me that specific base and its profile. I'm happy to find the issue

It was a height issue. spawned it on some flat sand and re-copied it and it fixed the issue  thank you kindly

you're welcome!

enjoy
