It's over 130k bricks.

You'll notice a little black spot at the top, yeah that's Junior standing there.


Yeah...This is...umm....Yeah....

I don't know. Like 30? maybe more? It wasn't lagging all that bad really.



What does one have to do to go over the brick limit?

Advanced Config Button -> Brick Limit -> 999999

Advanced Config Button -> Brick Limit -> 999999

I thought that that didn't do anything. I thought the limit was still 128000.

Duplicator hacks through the limit.

I never knew that, is there any other way to go around the limit?

What's the name of that effect, when you get all the curves in stuff?

The maximum number of bricks you can have is limited by the largest ghostID that can be transmitted using 17 bits.

2^17 = 131072 maximum possible ghosted objects.
Datablocks and world objects also use those ghost ids, so it varies slightly depending on how many add-ons you have loaded, what map you're on and how many bullets you happen to be shooting at the moment.  The 128k soft limit is plays it safe, allowing for maximum datablock usage (2048) plus a thousand or so map and game objects.

That explains a lot :o
