The number of possibilities the pathfinding has to crunch through increases exponentially as the distance to the target increases.
No, "The time complexity of A* depends on the heuristic. In the worst case, the number of nodes expanded is exponential in the length of the solution (the shortest path), but it is polynomial when the search space is a tree, there is a single goal state, and the heuristic function h meets the following condition". Exponential complexity is doomed to cause lag spikes lasting for thousands of years (in the best case).
Ah, that was the term yes - polynomial. I could only think of geometrical (as in, geometric series) so chose the incorrect definition of exponential as I was getting ninja'd.

defeating HFS: All it needs is one made of fire and a few minecarts with booze to do significant damage.

Only creatures can give off deadly dust.

A creature modded to give off high temperature deadly dust, pulling a minecart full of volatile syndrome transmitting materials with low boiling points!

Hah picturing a huge butterfly dragging along a minecart full of booze and then farting to make an explosion makes me giggle.

Ah, that might be a problem if the minecart updates won't be compatible with previous versions

This makes 100 floor forts much more efficient. Watervayors a thing of the past.
