Wait, are we not in Beta? The biggest challenge of this workflow is not the lightmap itself, but the fact that it should be easy to use (which is Godot's #1 design priority). Lightmapping is a very cheap operation, so it should run fine even on low end mobile. The smaller this value, the bigger the lightmaps will be.

Fixed issues. This is now corrected.
