This is a known bug. I need to adjust the detection when creating structures on the map. There is a maximum structure limit, and the mod generates up to the limit based on the structure spawn rate percentage and maxspawn, but when displaying highlighted structures, the mod counts above the limit. So it places highlights on phantoms or not :steamfacepalm: I haven't tested whether resources spawn when unlocked.
So What? 20 Oct @ 7:12pm 
Started a new game to add this mod. Played a while and went to bed. Came back today and some of the structures are still "there" as the game can see them, but I cannot see them. I can click the space and it highlisghts but it just looks like empty ground.

Thanks, if you have any feedback on the small_building.txt file, I'd love to hear it. Currently, I wanted to make it simpler than the basic files. More reader-friendly and easier to understand.
