Hello. Right now I’m trying to add new building with basement. I’ve checked how it works in other mods, so in blueprint everything seems fine but when I’m trying to go down in game, it shows me debug message.
It’s possible only to jump into generated basement and it completely empty with no sign of added content.
What I’m doing wrong?

Here it is. For now I’m using vanilla buildings for example, almost no customising at all.

Why does the basement rotate?

Youve crossed methods of making the OM.
You have the
{
“type” : “overmap\_terrain”,
“id” : “p\_laundromat”,
“name” : “laundromat”,
“rotate” : true,
“sym” : [94, 62, 118, 60],
“color” : “white\_white”,
“see\_cost” : 5,
“extras” : “build”,
“mondensity” : 2,
“sidewalk” : true,
“mapgen”: [ {
“method”: “json”,
“weight”: 800,
“object”: {
“rows”: [
method here
and then
{
“type” : “overmap\_terrain”,
“id” : “p\_laundromat\_basement”,
“name” : “basement”,
“rotate”: true,
“sym” : 79,
“color” : “dark\_gray”,
“see\_cost” : 5,
“mondensity” : 2
},
here. Id start by making only one style of defining the data, and Id try making both buildings either style.

Cleaned up the code, everything fine. Thanks!
