I found the build height limit.

I already know what you are going to say "but there is no build height limit because etc" but there is. It is at about 1,000,000 100,000 blocks. I know because my current build goes that high and I have built that high before to find a block at the same height. It is mostly do to a glitch in the torque engine because it can not support more than 6 digits so it becomes impossible to line up ghost bricks to place bricks. You can work around this by forcing a load to load higher, but then all the blocks are misaligned floating and glitchy. So today you learned there is in fact a build height limit, you will just probably never reach it because it is crazy higher up. It takes like 10 minutes just to fall to the ground from that height.

that's the brick limit or i'm just stupid nevermind

Verticle farlands

Yeah I guess it kind of is like a vertical far lands in some sense. I had not thought of that.

What happens if you try to build above it?

What happens if you try to build above it?

It is impossible to line up the ghost bricks. The ghost brick floats about 2/3rds of a brick above the build height limit and trying to move the ghost bricks by 1/3rd at a time does not move the ghost brick at all and trying to place the ghost bricks manually does nothing. So I guess if you force the game to allow you to place floating bricks you can build up there, but each layer will have a space between it because of the weird lining up. Force loading bricks that high has the same affect.

Cool. Got any pics?

Hope this satisifies both of you.


Also, it's actually significant figures, not digits. And it's Torque units, not blocks.
It does this because when Torque reaches 6 significant figures, it doesn't allow decimal places, which are what the bricks use.
The height of one 1x1 brick is 0.6 TU, and one 1x1F brick is 0.2 TU.
The 1x1 temp brick can still go up and down while the 1x1F cannot due to rounding.

This limit is roughly 500 thousand plates high.

In 2010 I made my challenge on Squideey's Above map so that we could easily play in the absence of a floor, but starting finding that when I loaded the save bricks would sometimes be off a slight amount, resulting in a bunch of holes and misaligned bricks. It took me a long time to realize the cause was that I built it on the outer edge of the vertical farlands.

It's interesting that there's a brick height limit but doesn't seem to be an x/y position limit.

The sky is literally the limit in this game

Well technically the height limit is a glitch. I theory I suppose there could be the same glitch if you go too far out. If there is it is so far it probably does not really matter anyway. Just like the build height limit it would be so far from spawn it will not limit your imagination at all.

there is. every axis is affected by the same limitation. minecraft also demonstrates this behaviour (though i think now they stop you from going that far) eventually. any game that allows you to move unimpaired in any direction will eventually end or break or stop being truly new/behaving normally

It's not really a glitch, it's more a limitation of numbers

Makes sense, using floats can only get you so far. I was under the impression that the height limit was something lower that Badspot himself had set.
