Hi there. When switching from 4.1 all of the useful presets for generating terrain are missing, instead showing a "missing paths" dialogue. This is on windows 11, both my desktop and laptop. I don't have anything exotic going on with my setup, I just install Blender in default location and copy preferences from the last version every time.

Presets for all extensions in 4.2 are missing: see #124020.
The fix will need a couple of new lines in the init def register() in each extension.

I am super new to blender and was hoping to use this add on, but I keep getting the same "missing paths" dialogue too. Does this mean we just have to wait for this add on to be updated?

At the moment it will not work in 4.2. However I was able to get the bold factory going with 4.3 dev release.
Taking the extension files, copying them to the config folder (for Linux this is under the home/.config/....)
Then getting the presets from 4.1 (as for the bolt factory in 4.2 they'd been forgotten) and copying these to the new folder location.
Following that I could add a couple of lines into the init python function.
With luck things will sort out in not too long - this new layout is a learning curve.....
