Started on a new factory map and I have a very large amount of cargo containers (over 25 of them - which is essential to my map design). Map was compiling fine after about 8 of them. Then I added the rest in and it crashes at the "buidling lightmap groups..." part

When I delete the prefabs back down to about 6-8 it compiles fine. I assume it has to do with the large amount of those prefabs but why??

I tried so many things that didn't seem to help:

Went into each container prefab and copied them and pasted them into the map as a group instead of prefab- and deleted the prefabs
Tried compiling on a different computer
Uninstalled and reinstalled tools
Lightmap Mode then selected all using "i" and hit "S" and then tried both LMAP and NATURAL

Nothing seems to work except for deleting all those prefabs which defeats the entire purpose of my map.

Any other things I should try? If I cant get that many containers to work then I will need to scrap the entire map because it's essential to have a large amount of containers for what I want to do.

Thanks

What if just one of the prefabs is causing the problem?

Should you add one prefab at a time after count (8) and see how many or which prefab is causing the issue? (Add, compile, add compile)

I see you've already tried alot of stuff already
