Map size
« on: November 06, 2012, 08:47:37 pm »
I was looking through the map size in the advanced parameters and i noticed that you cant go above 257 x 257

Why cant there be a map size bigger than 257 x 257?

Is there a way to get a bigger map size?

I'm going to assume it's because DF is a 32-bit application; it can only allocated a certain maximum amount of RAM and my guess would be that a map bigger than that just won't fit. People already run into memory issues occasionally as it is.

Well if COD players all have ADHD, and Minecrafters autism, then what do DF players all have?
Cave adaption.

Like every time I gen a medium world for more then 163 years...  It completes it preliminary offloading and crashes before I can 'accept'.  With advanced gen.  I guess my preferences are heavy.
