Testing 249: Melee Weapons, Shields and Local Universes!

For the local universe, would it be possible to let us generate more then a single world at a time? Or even offload generation to another machine (cli/automatable world generation). I do not plan on actually hosting my own universe, but it would be super useful for someone that was. Right now, I am just trying to generate some worlds for testing and to play around with, but it is quite slow at only 1 world at a time. My main machine has 32 GB of RAM and I have 2 servers each with 80/180 GB of RAM I would totally offload the generation to.

• The Generator will use all the cores (minus 2) for the vast majority of the generation time. (Although there are a few stages that use a single core.) So it’s not really recommended to generate multiple worlds in parallel.
• You can run servers + generators on other machines. These processes can be controlled by the currently undocumented HTTP APIs. The DUI is currently setup for the vast majority of players who will run the game on a single machine. The client uses the HTTP API by the DUI.
