How to get RWG to recognize and use custom prefab/pois

[RySwooperTrooper]

As the title says, simply, I'm trying to figure out how to get the random world generator to recognize and place prefab/pois that my friends and I are making. I've already gone into prefab properties for the one I'm working on and set both that and the tags for what biomes/areas they should spawn, added files into the appropriate folders, but they're still not showing up when I generate a random world.

Is there a step I'm missing? To be clear, I know how to take a custom POI and add it to an existing map, no problem. The issue is I can't get random world gen to acknowledge the prefabs I make and use them when building a generated map.

Thanks all.

Alpha 20 requires POI's to be set properly in Size & Tags or they wont spawn..

25x25 / 42x42 / 60x60 / 100x100 These are the normal sizes so they fit the required tile Wilderness spawns can be any & all sizes but dont go over 150 Blocks if you can help it..

I've set the tags, but where do I go to set its size?

Or, if anyone just knows of a good, CURRENT source for info on A20 prefab creation. All the things I've found online either don't focus on my specific question or are for outdated builds of the game.

Oh, I get it now! The prefab HAS to be designed in that size. I'm so dumb. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The prefab I was making was 42x44 and tagged to appear only in towns/cities. No wonder it didn't show. I shaved it down to 42x42 and now it's appearing in random gen!

Will do. It'll be some time as right now, I'm just practicing by trying to revitalize some of TFP's now-unused buildings. I'm eager to get to the point where I'm comfortable making whole prefabs from scratch.
