How to prevent a specific type of world-gen rejection from the start?
« on: October 02, 2014, 01:09:49 pm »
I've got a checkerboard-patterned large region that I fully suspect will result in an endless number of "Too many distinct sub-region" rejections (even at the cap of 5000). I want to know if it is possible to do a world-gen that skips any number of checks for an acceptable world from the start, rather than having to do it once it fails enough times. (I've modded the civs to be able to start anywhere, so that's not an issue).

It was in the init files, I think.  Hang on.

nope.  This is what I saw

Change this to YES to output the reasons for world map rejection into a file.

[LOG_MAP_REJECTS:NO]

If you are getting too many sub-regions, the absolute limit is 5000 (can't go higher), then you need to reduce your X/Y variances or go with a smaller value for the mesh count.

The last 2 numbers in the following tags are the variance values:

   [ELEVATION:1:400:1600:1600]
   [RAINFALL:0:100:400:400]
   [TEMPERATURE:25:75:400:400]
   [DRAINAGE:0:100:400:400]
   [VOLCANISM:0:100:400:400]
   [SAVAGERY:0:100:400:400]

Min is zero, max is 3200.  You will need to decrease your variance values until you get a map to generate with less then 5000 regions.
