Have you read this? > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... That tutorial is correct and works. Only thing is i personally find the Z is still off and i use a much lower value than they recommend. Anyhow, this should help you understand tiling in WM. The res that they are using per tile will require a bit of experimentation as well, recommended landscape resolution sizes can be found here: > **[Landscape Technical Guide](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/BuildingWorlds/Landscape/TechnicalGuide/)** > > Technical Settings for Landscape. Again experimentation is key. What i suggest you do is you break this process up into 2 parts when hunting out learning material. Learn the program for the landscape (ie World Machine) using tutorials just about that. Then learn how to use world comp in the engine just by using those referenced docs and practicing. To see it in action in engine and working (that tends to be how i learn, backwards, lol). Download the ARK mod kit. And load up some of there levels and have a play, you should be able to figure out world comp easy enough from that… Good luck! Remember, patience, and experimentation. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/recommendation-on-a-tool-to-build-16km-2-map-world-machine-world-creator-geoglpyh-houdini-etc/116611)._
