Our guild is building up a crafting hall and we keep hitting up against the prop limit, first with storage blocks and now with power coils. It’s going to cause a redesign of our space which is fine, but i wanted to ask a few things:
how many blocks are allowed per plot?
how many plots/what are this game’s dimensions for a chunk?
what falls under the category of a ‘complex’ block?
If anyone wants to check it out or make suggestions, we’re located on Alder via Portal Seekers, Iconic or Sasquatch. There’s a warp to the hall, and a hole where we’re building up
I’m not 100% sure on limit, but it would be nice if it were displayed somewhere via the debug menu for easier planning. I’m sure your not the first person to plan a build then have to redesign because of the prop limit.
When I did my testing and brought this up for change in EA it was 512 mesh per chunk. A chunk is 2x2 plots. From my understanding there was no change to date to those figures.
Oof, chunks goes all the way vertical? thats gonna make a functional tower…rather difficult to plan around.
Will definitely need to rethink this now. Means we can’t fit ~100 mixed machines in the space we have now, can’t fit the coils in even if we dropped out the storage.
It’d be nice if we could get a counter in game too, to give any indication of that limit. Even if it were just something on the right-side log that shows up like when placing/unplacing plots.
Hit F1 and bring up the dev tools. Under the menu bring up Debug Information. Look under Selection, Current Chunk. I used that to map out my chunks and then adjust my things only in areas where it was needed.
Sorry for what confusion might have resulted but I clearly said 2x2 plots. I did not include that a chunk goes from the top of the world to the bottom. 2x2 plots = 16 x16 m or blocks.
Next workshop I build I’m going to fill one plot with 512 meshes then see which surrounding plots I can place meshes in to find the chunk. It will be a pain but PS4 doesn’t get a debug menu.
16x16x256 blocks (2x2 plots from altitude 0 to max height)
anything that is interactive, machines, storage, baskets, shopstands, etc.
torches, beams, poles
also surface resources like plants, boulders, fungi
probably forgot some…
And I hear ya, I had to re-do my storage are in basement of my current workshop when I was building it. Had made some nice storage solution and then finally done with that I wanted to plop my machines down upstairs, first machine, 13th coil, poof, not possible…
I had to split up storage in 2 sections and move it to the sides of the area where my workshop is up above. Now basically have a large area in basement I can’t do much with
Ahhh, the debug menu! Good thing I also have a separate Steam account so I can use it there but not on my main and most used account on PS4
I wish I had enough money to hire 100 developers for Wonderstruck!
