    I have a custom station for a new scenario. I have attempted it with each type of space playfield.

    I have followed the format used for the default:

    - Type: BA_Alien
    Name: [TSO_Variant2, TSO_Variant3, TSO_Variant6]
    DisplayName: Trading Station
    Faction: Trader
    Mode: Survival
    CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]
    Probability: 1
    InitPower: True
    Properties:
    - Key: Music
    Value: NebularClouds
    - Key: Discovery
    Value: False
    - Key: PvEArea
    Value: 500
    - Key: StationInterface
    Value: "Fuel:1.2,O2:1.2,Warp:1.2,Ammo:1.8,Repair:3,Shield:3,IfNeutral:0.05,IfFriendly:-0.08,IfHonored:-0.16"

    I then created the new entry in the same space_dynamic yaml:

    - Type: Admin_Station
    Name: [LNX_WStation]
    DisplayName: Trading Station 2
    Faction: Public
    Pos: [1872, -703, 1558]
    Rot: [0, 0, 0]
    InitPower: True
    Properties:
    - Key: Music
    Value: NebularClouds
    - Key: Discovery
    Value: False
    - Key: PvEArea
    Value: 500
    - Key: StationInterface
    Value: "Fuel:1.2,O2:1.2,Warp:1.2,Ammo:1.8,Repair:3,Shield:3,IfNeutral:0.05,IfFriendly:-0.08,IfHonored:-0.16"

    Where Admin_Station is the group, Name is the BP name. This was verified in my F2 menu and double clicking on the item to be sure. I moved the necessary BP into the Prefab of my scenario.

    Taelyn let me know it doesn't use the group reference in space. I removed the Type: and the file failed. I have put the bp name in the type and I still got a "creation error". Taelyn is unfortunately too busy with the looming deadline so I thought I would seek some assistance here.

    For reference prior to the example above I attempted it with this (with ever variation of the bp, group, name configuration possible for this bp:

    - Type: LNX_WStation
    Name: [LNXWelcomeStation]
    DisplayName: Trading Station Test 1
    Faction: Public
    Mode: Survival
    CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]
    Probability: 1
    InitPower: True
    Properties:
    - Key: Music
    Value: NebularClouds
    - Key: Discovery
    Value: False
    - Key: PvEArea
    Value: 500
    - Key: StationInterface
    Value: "Fuel:1.2,O2:1.2,Warp:1.2,Ammo:1.8,Repair:3,Shield:3,IfNeutral:0.05,IfFriendly:-0.08,IfHonored:-0.16"


    Could really use any possible assistance to get this working.

    Unfortunately still unable to get it to show. The creation error is gone but its not adding it. I did change the group to BA_Admin and BA_Alien (and then moved it from saved bp's into prefabs).

    Well update is, the map reference shows properly.... No structure there. Not sure what that is about unless it doesn't go into the prefab folder of the scenario (which I know it is supposed to

    Found the issue finally.

    DO NOT RENAME the bp outside of the game. For whatever reason going into the folder and renaming it, even when it comes up in creative etc, will cause it not to be drawn. Was able to recreate this multiple times by renaming via the content folder. (By renaming I mean the .ecp file)
