Description

Select a plot resource in the palette, right click on it and select duplicate. Notice that there are now two plots with the same GUID, which is uneditable (and isn't something you should have to create yourself anyway).

The same thing happens if you open the plot and Save As. The only way to create a plot safely is to make a new one from scratch.

This definitely causes problems like what I was trying to figure out in this thread on creature codex entries.

Workarounds

Create plots without duplicating them from another one... or enjoy changing the GUIDs in a GFF editor.
