Is is already fated that the update won’t run on potatos? Which ones?

@Rydralain

If your computer isn’t powerful enough, initial world generation software can take several hours. My computer well exceeds potato status, but presumably because of either my limited CPU count or the amount of RAM I had in use, I was taking about an hour per world generated. This would be very frustrating to anyone trying to run the game for the first time, especially when competitors like Minecraft and Terraria have very fast initial worldgen.

They were looking at doing this a different way

@james

We’re also exploring allowing players to download a universe or worlds, instead of generating a universe or worlds.

Once these items are ready they’ll be released to Testing.

Once Testing doesn’t have any major issues it’ll be released to Live.

@james

Based on feedback - we’re exploring options for downloading worlds as an alternative to generating them.
