Currently, worldgen shows the number of rejections that have occurred, but does not show either the number of successfully-generated regions or the number of regions the map will have total. Because of this, it's not really feasible to know how far along worldgen is (especially for large worlds) an whether (c)ontinuing a few more times is worth it or (a)borting the process is easier on your sanity.

The total regions should hopefully be simple, as it's directly related to world size.

In the absence of backtracking over already-generated regions, the progress count shouldn't be much harder - just a counter that increments when a region gens successfully.

If it does have the ability to backtrack over regions that already succeeded, that's a decrement (although it does make it less useful as a progress indicator).

Simply showing that as "Creating New Region ($successes/$total done, $rejections rejected)" would go a long way.

Your first success is going to be the one you get, so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

The rejection is not on a per region basis. The rejection is on the whole map. As in the generator found out that the map it's currently generated cannot fulfill whatever restriction the generation algorithm placed on it (too many savage area, too few mountains, too few plains, etc).

And if there's one rejection, it may mean that world itself will be bugged, even if you manage to create it succesfully.

Ah, okay. I was confused by the fact that 'region' is used in at least three different ways, and I thought that worldgen used it in the '16x16 section of the worldmap' sense.
