    My current ded server was made in 1.7. I'm aware of the big carbon substrate change in 1.8. I figured I could just use a template of Carbon rock from a newly generated server's planet template, but I'm not having any luck with the rocks themselves populating. I was able to get Carbon ore to populate and show up on the starting planets once I delete the old planet's playfield folder so it could create a fresh one.

    This code is an example of how I added it to the playfield for the Arid starter planet. But no carbon rocks are showing up anywhere on the planet. I'm assuming the format is slightly different or the server itself needs to be completely wiped and restart for rocks to populate for whatever reason.

    Code:
      - Name: Dunes
        AmbientSound: DesertLowPlains
        Decorations:
        - - DesertRock1
          - 0.0002

        - - DesertRock2

    Carbon rocks can only be added to playfields that use the new decoration system.
    Additionally, you may encounter major issues trying to update existing playfield files. It's strongly recommended to either start a new save game, or if you really, absolutely, positively must continue your existing game just change the recipe so nothing requires carbon.
