* `force_placement` is a boolean indicating whether nodes other than `air` and
`ignore` are replaced by the schematic
-* `minetest.serialize_schematic(schematic, format, use_comments)`
+* `minetest.serialize_schematic(schematic, format, options)`
* Return the serialized schematic specified by schematic (see: Schematic specifier)
* in the `format` of either "mts" or "lua".
* "mts" - a string containing the binary MTS data used in the MTS file format
* "lua" - a string containing Lua code representing the schematic in table format
- * If `use_comments` is true, the Lua code generated will have (X, Z) position comments
- * for every X row generated in the schematic data for easier reading. This parameter
- * is ignored if `format` is not "lua".
+ * `options` is a table containing the following optional parameters:
+ * If `use_comments` is true and `format` is "lua", the Lua code generated will have (X, Z)
+ * position comments for every X row generated in the schematic data for easier reading.
+ * If `register_after_load` is true, then `schematic`, if not yet loaded, will be registered
+ * after loading and persist in memory.
+ * node_resolve_method can be one of either "none", "direct", or "deferred" (default: "none")
+ * This sets the way method by with node names are mapped to their content IDs, if loaded:
+ * "none" performs no node resolution and preserves all node names from the schematic definition
+ * "direct" performs an immediate lookup of content ID, given all the nodes that have been
+ * registered up to this point in script execution
+ * "deferred" pends node resolution until after the script registration phase has ended
+ * In practice, it is recommended to use "none" in nearly all use cases.
### Misc.
* `minetest.get_connected_players()`: returns list of `ObjectRefs`
