Note that I have 6 floors in this place but they mainly contain storage blocks and timber wood similar to what you see in the pictures (some glass too)
Annoyingly not something youāll encounter until youāve actually built your storage/workshop and itās too late.
If you are on pc you can see the mesh count on the debug menu.
Yeah ā¦ itās a shame to be stopped by this. In fact I can not add another beacon to finish what I wanted to do because it will give me the same result since it is calculated with the plots that are located at the bottom and top of it. I did not know they had this constraintā¦Iām on ps4
Hopefully that is just your storage cause machines and some other things effects to mesh limit.
Might wanna try remove something you dont need like torches etc and replace those with storage blocks
Trying to think of a good way to communicate that to players in the early game, so itās not so much of a surprise, but coming up emptyā¦ Anyone else have any good ideas?
I will check, I will try to find a solution. I have only a few storage blocks to add in this area ā¦ hoping it will not affect my garden that is on the roof when we get the update lol ā¦ the soil is already added
Just to add - almost all crops use the āgrass renderingā and do not contribute to the mesh limits, however some are meshes and would contribute: the combustion fraction and the decorative prestige crops.
If you cut out the bottom 2 rows of storage blocks, you could put shop stands as one of the rows and line your gray timber as the other row. It would reduce your mesh count and increase your storage cap.
I donāt think it warns you before you hit the limit, ran into 400+ on a few chunks in my build just yesterday and didnāt see a warning.
It would be very helpful to have something in-game! Currently itās only possible to know via console and thatās also not very intuitive.
yes, in fact I just added a separation and this solved my problem. I already use shops stands for various things but here I wanted to have storage blocks
Torches also count towards the mesh limit, perhaps using another light source can help a bit?
But yes, i can be annoying, when I was building my new workshop and massive storage underneath I also ran into this problem, since my bottom floor containing the massive storage was the biggest floor anyway I moved all storage and anything counting towards the mesh limit to the āsideā of where my machines were on the top floor.
Sad part is upping the limit will mean a slowdown in rendering Iāve been told so I can imagine they arenāt too eager to do that.
And BTW, the mesh limit is per chunk, a chunk is 2x2 plots and from the mantle to the upper limit, so itās 16x16x256 blocksā¦
