Not to mention the terrain generator of the past (which I always felt had little use, personally) if retooled to work with the new bricks, could create massive, unprecedented landscapes within seconds of clicking a button.

Wouldn't that super lag?

Except for that it would burn up the brickcount completely. Or be very limited.

So what you lose a few crappy maps? I'll admit, the bedroom was fun, but it never made my experience better.

the experience == the fun

it's not inconceivable that someone makes a terrain generator that makes efficient terrain. by this i mean making smaller cubes combine into larger cubes while it's processing what to build.

Wouldn't that super lag anyway unless you make like a 64x64?

what do you mean

it'd lag about as much as if you were to build it by hand after it generates

the only time it'd probably lag is if it made a huge landscape that had tons of bricks in it (which may take awhile to actually lag unless your computer can't handle it) or MAYBE whilst building (that kinda depends on how it's building, you can make it lag a lot less pretty easily).

Only thing I'm worried about is vehicles :S

If it's just a little landscape thing then we might as well build it right now by hand.
Who's gonna bother making a super thing that creates these landscapes anyway?

You don't know what you have until it is gone.
But you don't know what you have been missing until it has arrived.

i guess i didn't put enough emphasis on "huge"  

BUT anyways


[]----[] is a wizard and this is WIP and those are old pictures

note neither of those lagged except while building and as of now it hardly lags while building (unless generating a huge area)

There's the sodding word again. I guess a "huge" area just means "tons" of bricks which is like....uh..


So "huge" landscapes with "tons" of bricks don't lag on my machine? Really? You know this, how?

It's kind of frustrating how we're throwing around these terms as if they have some sort of metrical value!

what

i was literally saying that huge landscapes actually may lag if you can't handle it

if it made a huge landscape that had tons of bricks in it

[SlayerZ99]

wait, getting rid of "Terrain" and "Interiors"

Which means we will only have slates?

What are we talking about again? What were you trying to say with the pictures?
If the pictures aren't related, why does your answer abruptly end with "i guess i didn't put enough emphasis on "huge"" as if the following would explain what you meant?

i probably misunderstood what you said. sorry about that. the pictures were to show who would bother making that.

well I'll lag
