so, I have ran into an extremely unusual error/problem while trying to port my Trainz 2019 copy from my laptop drive to an external hard drive (which has significantly more storage space than the laptop, 2 TB on the external vs 478 or so GB on the laptop).
while attempting to shift the build folder as I have seen countless others recommend, the build folder gives an error that over 500 more GB than my two TB drive has are needed to export them, despite the fact that the folder itself is less than 200 GB in size on my laptop. And when I shift things individually, they suddenly balloon in size as well, still taking up almost the entire external drive without even a quarter of the assets being shifted. is this error common? I have seen literally nobody else talk about this error despite the fact that it stims from the instructions given by folk on how to export the game onto an external drive.
I will note, I bought my copy of TRS 19 from Steam. IDK if that makes a difference or not, but I figure it is worth mentioning, as I have 34,013 assets installed currently, counting base game, DLC, third party, and DLS content. I really don't want to spend the next several weeks trying to export all the CDP files for non DLC/Base game content that i have installed just to shift it onto my drive for more space. Anyone able to help?
