"Building Trainz Asset Database" every time I launch.

I recently migrated content and installed Trainz+ on a different machine. Every single time I launch, the game rebuilds and it takes forever. Am I missing something?

Check that the Install tab in the Trainz Settings has the correct Local data folder identified

It created a local folder on instal and I changed it to a different folder containing the data I migrated. I have 2022 and 2022+ also, both different executables using the same data folder.

That is not recommended. Each executable should have its own local data folder.

As far as I know I don't need 2022, just +.Should I set the local folder of 2022 back to the original appdata ect folder?

Yes, I would point TRS22 to its original installed local data folder. You can still add whatever you want to that folder.

In my case I have 3 executables on my main computer. Trainz Plus (retail) which includes DLC and assets of my own creation, Trainz Plus (latest beta) which has a cut down local data folder and TRS22PE which has only built-in and DLS assets in its local data folder (no DLC or 3rd party). I develop routes in Trainz Plus (retail) and test them in the Train Plus (beta).

Before I upload anything to the DLS it is tested in TRS22PE to identify any dependencies that are not built-in or on the DLS. Any missing dependencies (i.e. Payware, Packaged in DLC only or 3rd party) are identified and then eliminated from the Trainz Plus copy and then tested again in TRS22. I have this dislike of finding dependencies in downloaded assets that cannot be found on the DLS which then forces you to go hunting for them or abandon the asset, so I will not inflict that on anyone else.

I changed the local data folkder of Trainz 22 (shortcut leads to "C:\Program Files\N3V Games\Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022\TRS22.exe") to the app data folder (there were two builds listed in that folder as well as 2019 and TANE), when I launch the screen says Trainz+ build 129343.
Trainz+ shortcut leads to "C:\Program Files\N3V Games\Trainz Plus\TRS22.exe" and also launches Trainz + build 119450 with the local data set to the folder I transfered from another PC, however my content isn't there (which it was a few days ago).
I'm lost here.
