My way of saving buildings & terrain

[onk]

I have the same problem as many others. I can't save parts into a blueprint with the terrain. I can save a habitat as blueprint with terrain, but then without facilities and certain building-parts.
So, I do both....and this way I can also save multiple habitats...or an entire zoo...(kind of)
For this purpose first I place a marker in the middle of the area I want to save.

My next step is building a habitat around the area I want to save. And save this habitat into a blueprint.
And the nice "null" walls let me easily place the outline nearly everywhere, even on a path.

Now I mark the area I want and save this into a regular blueprint. (btw the 367 objects are pretty wrong, cause there are multiple groups...its more in the range auf 2-3K )

Now to the recreation.
First I place the habitat-blueprint...and try to get the right height. And as expected many parts are missing.

Now I mark and delete everything....but not the top pyramid.

Now I place the regular blueprint at the same place. You may have to play around with your settings (flat terrain or not, and so on)

After that I have everything I need, besides the paths.

And after a while, even the snow returns ;-)

That’s great, I can’t save habitats, it causes my game to crash, but I hope that helps others.
