Hi,

I’m trying to modify an existing modul.  
I want to add a Place Marker trait.

I have added everything to game piece prototype definition.

Is the piece you were expecting to have changed part of a predefined  
setup or saved game?

That’s your problem, then. Pieces in logs and saves aren’t updated when  
you modify a module. Scenarios are just save files bundled with the  
module.

You could try the Refresh Counters tool:
