Infinite rejected maps
« on: July 16, 2008, 02:10:34 pm »

I'm having a problem with figuring out good settings for custom maps. Every time I try to increase anything interesting, it ends up rejecting all of the worlds. The rejections for my current attempt are up to 2000 so far.

Will it eventually generate a map based on the settings, or should I be a bit more moderate with my modifications?

Make a new one, if it's got 2k rejections its in an infinite loop.

I've seen it mentioned that checking the appropriate log file (don't remember which one, or where, but it should be easy to find) can help you figure out why exactly the worlds are being rejected, thus helping you to further adjust the settings to satisfy the game's demands.

The log files will help a lot in figuring out what's wrong. For my stuff I just entirely remove the "minimum" stuff and let it make screwed-up worlds if it wants. More fun that way. :D

I had this problem in 38c. I grabbed my save folder, reinstalled, and dropped my save folder into the new directory. The fresh install worked fine.

I've had worldgens with over 10k rejects still find a world in the end (been playing around)
enlarging the map also seems to work, as I had a 9k reject cancelled and tried it again on a larger map, which instantly worked.
