    Error: Snowshoe-B865AB46

    Error saving the map: the file is too large. Eliminate some resources or simplify land disposal.

    I can save the map, what it does not let me do is publish it. It gives the error when trying to publish it reaches 98%.

    Eliminate things until you have the budget to around 90% and nothing.

    How to know what else to remove? I would not like to dismantle the land, I would not know where to start and how far to go.

    Been a while, but in case people come across this issue again, check out this page, which currently tells you to take these steps to optimize compression of unused parts of the map and combat the map filesize:

    • Use the Flatten Tool to flatten the terrain, with the brush set to 1.0 Hardness and 1.0 Speed, 0.0 Distortion. Use as few as possible unique Height values throughout the map, so preferably pick a height and stick with it.
    • CTRL-paint that terrain with the Texture Tool, with the brush set to 1.0 Hardness and 1.0 Speed, 0.0 Distortion and no brush constraints.
    • CTRL-paint that terrain with the Vegetation Tool.
    • CTRL-paint that terrain with the Hole Tool.
    • CTRL-Paint means: Holding the CTRL key while clicking the left mouse button. This effectively un-paints.
