problem is more linked to face neighbourgs calculation I think, I've noticed vertex normals being equal to face normal itself. its a problem I want to look at. recalcucating each normals "by hand" in prefab allows perfectly smooth surfaces, without changing the gnerated mesh at all same applies to all extrusions.
but I'll know for sure once I come to it.
