a command to export/import segments(chunks)

I don't know if anybody has suggested this yet though it doesn't seem so, so I'm just throwing it out here.. I am sorry if it's already part of the game, but I can't find it

a command that you can use to export/import segments

example: (you have got a planetary base/station, and you want to export it and import on an other planet so you select desired segments, export them, and replace segments on the other planet with the ones that you exported)

reason why you might need this: it is inevitable that planets will undergo alot of changes in future, so every planetary base you build now will become gimped when there, after some updates, will be improved, thicker, better planets, so you'll want to export your base and import it on the new planet

From the wiki, under admin commands:




export_sector
exports the whole sector. be sure to use /force_save before
X(Integer), Y(Integer), Z(Integer), name(String)


/export_sector 2 3 4 mySavedSector










import_sector
make sure that the target sector is unloaded
toX(Integer), toY(Integer), toZ(Integer), name(String)

[B]/import_sector 2 3 4 mySavedSector[/B]

yeah but that\'s sectors, I am talking about exporting/ importing segments = chunks of blocks
