## \ud83e\udde0 Tips & Fixes from Experience<\/p>\n
– **Pregeneration takes time.** LOD chunks are lower quality but still CPU-heavy.
\n– **Batching errors in console?** Safe to ignore \u2013 they\u2019re just loading timeouts.
\n– **Don\u2019t overload chunks.** Anything beyond 320 LOD chunks can cause major lag or RAM issues.
\n– **Use \u201cMinimal\u201d or \u201cLow Impact\u201d mode after pregeneration** to avoid stutter.<\/p>\n
