Edit: Version 2.0.10 - Fixed using a custom surface in PvP was preventing Space Age progression

In addition, I fixed the power poles by cloning the entire map region in one call instead of chunk-by-chunk. You need to get the left-top and right-bottom X,Y coordinates surrounding your current map (e.g. using the "Cursor" information in F5 view), and insert them where it says `{{left, top}, {right, bottom}}`. These are not necessarily centered around the origin (0, 0). In my case, left-top was (-20000, 8000) and right-bottom was (-15000, 12500)

This is the command I came up with:

Code: Select all

/c local area={{left, top}, {right, bottom}} local src_surf = game.get_surface("battle_surface_1") src_surf.clone_area{source_area=area, destination_area=area, destination_surface="nauvis", clone_tiles=true, clone_entities=true, clone_decoratives=true, clear_destination_entities=true, clear_destination_decoratives=true, expand_map=true} for k, force in pairs(game.forces) do force.set_spawn_position(force.get_spawn_position("battle_surface_1"), "nauvis") force.copy_chart(force, "battle_surface_1", "nauvis") force.set_surface_hidden("nauvis", false) end for k, player in pairs(game.players) do player.teleport(player.position, "nauvis", false, false) end storage.pvp.surface = game.surfaces.nauvis game.delete_surface("battle_surface_1")

Caveats that we've noticed:

- The boundary between old and new map is glitchy. Some chunks are completely missing, some have slightly weird textures (repeating tile textures, no blending or connection between them). In our case, we were able to find paths around the empty chunks, so it is still playable

- Trains will be set to manual mode after the migration.

- Rocket silos were still bugged after the migration, you may have to remove and rebuild them.

After running the command the server was inaccessible for ~30 mins, needed 150% RAM and maxed out 1 core.
I did the same in single player, with a similar result. I know this may be obvious, but just putting it here in case someone else runs into this:

DO NOT KILL YOUR SERVER OR GAME WHILE THE COMMAND IS RUNNING
