Base size for planet spawn

[Donbingo]

What are the current maximum size for a base to be spawned on a planet?

I have a base I had build to almost maximum in lenght and width, but I cant spawn it on land.
I have now cut it down to 211*211*14 blocks, but its still too big.

I can spawn it in space though, but not usefull for a planetbase ;)

Try flattening the terrain under it with the T2 drill.. This might take a while if it is that big, but you probably dont need to get everything perfectly flat for it to work.

If this is the issue then the T2 HV drill could really use a flatten mode.

Some time ago I made a very large platform and trimmed it down until it would allow spawning on planets. Ended up with161x161x12 blocks, which will spawn in a planet, but its still pretty tricky to get the placement bounding box to go green. A bit larger *might* be spawnable on a planet but I can't say for sure.

If I remember correctly I started with 201x201 and cut off 10 block sections from each side, saved and tried to spawn each time it untill I was able. (it's on the workshop as 'WorkPlatform')

Why do you want that big of a base/platform for?

Its a spaceport for a MP server, but I guess I have to build it in modules instead of.

It was 228*228*24 blocks, and a bit too small, so I was going to make an extra module anyway.

Edit: But its annoying that you can build something you cant spawn, a bit of a waste of time...

That's one heck of a Huge spaceport! Good Luck! ;)

The thing about a spaceport, it has a lot of ...... space..

Parking space, landing area, its not filled with buildings, so I guess I will make it in 3-4 modules,
Landing strip, parking area, main building/s area, and maintenence area.

I know we dont really need a landing strip, I just love the runway lights :)

And talking about lights, a little something in between builds.. the HOVER billBOARD.

I'm very glad I found this before I wasted any more time on the platform I was building. I was building a giant platform in space to use a creative construction pad for future builds, but I couldn't get it to spawn anywhere on the ground.... I didn't realize you could build things that are too big to spawn, even with the block count disabled.
