Higher Brickcount

Bester Bageler:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=129978.0 I decided to look for why the brick limit is 256k and I found this topic. Hope it helps with researching a larger number.

So if he can chose any random number, why not 500000?

256000 makes perfect sense to me. 2^8*1000 = 256000. 262144 feels like a random number to me even though it's 2^18.

But why *1000? That sounds like he can just use any number he wants. as long as it fits in 18 bits

256000 is a nice and round number. Arbitrary, yes, but nice even though it isn't the technical limit. Upping it to the limit would only add 6144 bricks. 2.4% of the total brick limit. Not really a big deal.

I want a thorough explanation by Badspot on what we can do with bricks. With the shadow and shaders update I'd expect that we get more bricks since we'll have to create our own terrain or cities, which will no doubt be heavy on the brick count.

This bothers me as well that they agreed to adding more bricks if people began building bigger things- which we have.
