* Align your settings exactly to the below screenshot:

* Switch to the “**Caves, Caverns and Chasms**” tab and *<mark style="color:red;">deactivate</mark>*: “**Caves everywhere”, “Caverns everywhere” and “Chasms everywhere**”. This will fix cave generation for the map. Make sure your settings align with the screenshot

#### Now you can create Tiles with the correct export settings. The reason why we have to do this manually is that the custom script cannot be programmed to do so.

## Assigning more RAM to WorldPainter

Sometimes WorldPainter does not allocate&#x20;

Go to the installation folder of WorldPainter (most likely C:\Program Files\WorldPainter) and open the file: "**wpscript.vmoptions**" with a text editor.

<figure><img src="/files/CTPLFUC4AUZijpW9CkuI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Add the following line at the end of the file:

{% hint style="warning" %}
*Instead of 16, you should enter the amount of RAM you have installed in your computer (minus a little bit, for example, 14G, when you have 16GB installed). **Never** allocate too much memory—your system still needs some to function!*
{% endhint %}

```html
-Xmx16G
```
