Title: Old files have broken node network
Post by: Martin on January 25, 2026, 11:04:07 AM
After building hundreds of worlds, I've reached a point where my PC wasn't able to render the required resolution.
I took a long, 5 year break from terragen, with many dozens of files prepared for a better render once I have a better workstation.

As I am preparing to buy one, I was checking those files, just to realise the old node networks seem to be all broken.

Is this a known thing? I did have the old Daniil Kamperov erosion plugin, which I had to reinstall with the new Terragen 4 version, but it seems my files are just
Atmospheric nodes are completely reset, nothing is plugged into the planet node, and with my complicated node trees, it's kind of hard to find the problem. 

My question is, is opening a file made in a version from 2016-2019 doable, should I do some file conversion, or will nodes be broken because of the changes to nodes/ the engine? 

Thank you for any help.
