| Mr.Noßody:
You can break the brick limit with the current duplicator by duping bricks past the limit. Of course at that point you'd need to build with it and saving/loading becomes unstable only saving the hard limit. Apparently, the problem is that after 256k bricks rendering gets tricky/buggy. I'm not actually sure what the implications of breaking the limit is, but it can be done and if can be raised officially, id be very happy. |

Hope it helps with researching a larger number. --- End quote --- In that post badspot explains that it was capped at 128000 so it fits in 17 bits, it was then raised to 256000, so I guess it now has 18 bits, he could easily add another one In his post he says that the only effect is that the ghosting time would be a minute longer, oh my god, who cares |
| General:
I completely agree with this topic, now that interiors and terrain are gone, the whole game basically revolves around bricks. Lifting the brick count is completely reasonable. |

Infinite brick count! I noticed this interesting effect on my server, which I got to around 230k, where GSF terrain bricks would "de-render", where the bricks would disappear if not seen for a while, but would almost immediately reappear when they got back in sight, without ghosting and without any subsequent lag that would come from ghosting. Is this a glitch, or was it intentional? If the latter is true, why can't we use this to a larger extent and increase it to 500k or 512k? |
