How many bricks can be in a server before you lag out?

[Gen. Hothauser]

This is a 'poll' to see what the largest amount of bricks there can be in a server before you lag out of the server.

Mine is 256000-aka, largest amount of bricks that blockland allows, unfortunately.  Just post a number, this is so that I can see how many people will be able to go to the CCC.

You can change the limit. Derp.

[Butler]

No. The limit cannot be above 256000 without changing the game itself.

I think Ephialtes did it once, maybe it was Kalphiter (it was awhile ago) but they ended up having to change the base programming of the game if I remember correctly.

[Brian Smithers]

I've had over 460,000 bricks on a server at once, but at the same time they were all cubes.

No...
This is completely incorrect.

Then how do you go above the limit?

[Dillpickle]

You can't.
Once you reach the limit, it just won't let you build more. At least that's what I think, sounds true.

Unlimited mining servers do it all the time. You just can't have all the bricks in viewing distance at once.
The brick limit is actually the limit of how many fxDTS objects you can render at once.

Even so, it would affect me for the purpose of this 'poll' any way.

wait, mining servers? I hope you know that the whole entire map isn't just a giant box of blocks. When you mine, you create a block wall around the area you just mine.
Same thing goes for Minecraft. You can warp through the map and not see blocks because they haven't been created. Only the visible shellpart is, except for ores and objects. mainly dirt and rock is hidden.

Yes, but those servers often reach brick counts higher than the limit

Nope, but I did make a cube out of 125,000 bricks.

How does it bypass the main code?

[Chrono]

Your client only supports a limited amount of objects. Once this limit is reached, no more new objects can be received/created until previous ones are removed. This includes all mission objects, datablocks, and GUIs. (remember, I'm talking client side)
Bricks and objects that you've loaded (by being in viewing range), but then moved out of viewing range from will still remain active and thus contribute to this limit.

The reason behind infinite mining servers going above the limit is that it does not reduce the brick count when a brick is mined. Yes, the brick count needs to be semi-manually adjusted. Planting any brick through any means will automatically increase the count, however, deleting is only through certain methods. Deleting the brick will not automatically reduce the count, but doing killbrick will, along with causing chainkills.
