Issues using this mod on The Center map?
Props, Ozzy... love this mod! :)

I've been using this mod on The Island without issue for months, but now that I've started using it on The Center map I'm having issues that I suspect are the fault of the map itself.

I created two gates, one at home base on the SE island with the obelisk, and the other on the floating island.

On my first attempt to travel from home base to the floating island, I immediattly fell through the terrain and got stuck inside. It took some time, but I was able to work my way down through the floating island and come out the bottom. Luckily I was on a quetz. lol

On my second attempt, I took the gate from the floating island back to home base. Upon arriving, it was as if part of the terrain under my base took too long to render in and about a dozen of my dinos that were on the ground fell through the geometry and were never seen again. I am now afraid to use the gates anymore. :\

Anyone else run into similar issues and is there anything you can do to help prevent this from happening?

We have massive issues with teleporting, playing on The Center, too.
Sometimes you'll be ported in the right way but most of the time you're ported to the end of the map, falling through the terrain or under water.

What Tom said is correct. The problem mostly occurs when entering the gate without sitting on a dino.

Sitting on a dino doesn't matter. I just fell through the map on my Giga. I find it safer to set a dino to follow and make it go through the gate on its own and then I do. That way if I do get stuck or fall under the terrain, I can just use the command fly and get out if I can type it quick enough before dying.

Nothing of that could be the solution, nor a workaround.

I am having an issue with using the gates to go to the underwater air bubbles. Works perfect if I'm not mounted. If mounted I end up in the ocean above the bubble, I suspect directly above the gate.

On The Center, I've noticed that the terrain geometry in some areas is weird. In the place where my dinos fell through, they were always either ankle deep in the terrain or hovering just above it. It's impossible to place fence foundations in these areas too, since you can't see where you are placing them.

Not sure if this has any bearing on the issue.

Waiting on a response to this as well. Would *love* to use this mod but we're on The Center.

I'm running an unofficial server with TheCenter and Stargate Atlantis.

The issue with falling through the world after using the gate (especially on Center Island) never happened to me - neither mounted nor on foot.
The issue of "my structures need to load" and my dinos being stuck in these structures after I experienced - seemed to be a load issue when too much data has to be processed. Usually it helps to look to the ground or the sky several seconds before looking at the base, so it doesn't need to get rendered while loading the data.

The issue with the underwater bubble seems to be a problem with TheCenter DLC itself - you simply cannot enter the air bubbles with adult dinos, neither through stargate, nor by swimming through the barrier. You can also test to bring a fertilized egg into the barrier and hatch / mature a dino there. As soon as it hits adulthood, it'll be gone.

I don't have those issues falling through the map, but rather when going to the under water bubble and exiting that stargate sitting on a dino, you get ported above the bubble (in the ocean). (Lost my giga that way, but happens on any dino)

What I do know is that twice on Skull Island I have lost mounts when SG to my base and SG back within a minute or two. Once was a hot air balloon from Steampunk and another was a 150FP Mammoth I was using as a mule. However, not positive if this poofing is related to the SG or just basic rendering of a location, just like fast travel or waking up. Dinos have poofed on all three occassions. As for the reports of it sending u into la-la land, have never had that once. and I will send numerous animals through on follow while I am on the other side of the gate, as well as on a mount myself. Putting a gate right now at Boom Shakalaka, our community breeding center behind the waterfalls below the floating island. *It will be romantic. Anyone know of a mod with hanging chains? hehe.

We have a public stargate leading to the floating island on ours.. We link it to being next to the beaver lake on the island, it seems to be working, though you often have to sit and wait outside the gate for some time for the map to actually load the section properly.

Relating to The Center bugs, I've been trying to use a stargate to link to the underwater domes, but for some reason when mounted on an animal of any kind, instead of taking me to the gate, it takes me to the water just above the surface of the bubble over the location of the stargate. Which is unfortunate, because that means I can't transport flying animals down yet by any means, since I can't place teleport rings on a raft, and server building rules prevent me from making an endless pillar...

Any ideas? I've tried moving the stargate around a few times to adjust where it wants to go and it keeps giving me this issue. (also on that matter it'd be nice if the stargate could be picked up for this specific reason, but honestly stargate works so well otherwise to open up the map that it's a very minor complaint)

The terrain load seems to be an issue for me as well. I built on the NE island and when I port in to the stargate my dinos drop below the terrain. I was able to do a whistle all and recover them, but it was not easy.
