If you're new to map making, one of the first things you should learn is that fast build maps are worthless. If you want to get good at map-making, don't ever make maps that have the following qualities:
1)Nearly infinite gems
2)Instant construction
3)A huge pile of tech buildings right in the middle
4)Modified super units that only you know about
5)Triggers that nuke the hell out of everything on the map
6)Free nuke power / radar spy sat / defenses for everyone at the beginnning
7)Long straight walls of rocks to make all the land units move around them.

Of course, this would eliminate 95% of custom maps currently out there....

And don't forget totally flat and textureless maps as well!:D

Try either

BuildLimit=-1

or if that doesn't work, try

BuildLimit=999

BuildLimit=-X is a special case. You can only ever get that many so with -1, you could only build 1 cloning vats for the entire game; the option is removed after construction.

So 999 would be your best bet.
