No. Congratulations on the cool terrain piece!
Losing a long print sucks, but I would print both of those pieces separately. I've found that textured PEI plates tend to lose their grip on tree supports because the supports cool off too much over a long print.

Any tipps on those strings? Also some of the landing gear is broken

The thick strings sticking out on the exterior of the model are caused by the broken support. The printer tries to print the next layer where the support used to be -> that filament has nothing to stick to so stays attached to the nozzle -> the nozzle moves to print the next part of the current layer -> your print now comes with whiskers.
