I created a new space era farm model and put it into Assets\Art\Structures\Improvements as a Farm folder. I changed the ART_DEFINES so that the new farm should appear in game. Well it does appear in the civilopedia, but not in the game. Is this an era issue somehow or something else? What did I mess up?

Thanks

Almost the same thing here, i put in a new forest build improvement and it works and stuff but does not show-up in the game or pedia, but it works, well at least the game says it does, but i see nothing??
The pedia shows nothing there, but its there, weird?

I've never messed with the PlotLSystem so I hope that isn't it. ;)

It's strange to see it in the pedia as the improvement, but the workers get it wrong. I blame them...

Here is one I use, I didnt define it in the PlotLSystem.

That looks like what I did. I didn't even have to change the _FARM, only the nif entry.

Other than this being a potential era thing I can't find anything wrong. In the nif that I overwrote there was a farm_eu.nif or something close to that. Let me try and swap out something other than a farm. Showing up in the pedia has me confused.
