So playing Space Exploration 0.6 and exploring how far I could go on an asteroid belt I found I could go past the 1m marker. Got to 1,040,000 and kept going. A short while later the server crashed and we got this error.

Not sure who is at fault, SE or Factorio. I am guessing something in SE changed the map size limit.

no version of the game crashed in the vanilla game on the edge of the map

According to https://wiki.factorio.com/Map_generator the maximum map size is defined as 2,000,000 tiles each side. The square root of 4,000,000,000 is roughly 63,245 from the starting the position of (0,0), so the way I read it is the maximum map co-ordinates are (-31622,+31622). Seems like the mod has tried to create a chunk outside this range.

A "playable" area of the surface is from {-1 000 000, -1 000 000} up to {1 000 000, 1 000 000}. If a position has any coordinate of 1 048 576 (=2^20) (ignoring a sign) such position is considered "not reasonable" and an assert will abort the program because such positions are not expected to appear anywhere given the 1000000 limit on the map generator. This assert is intended to catch different class of issues but if a player induces it intentionally, i do not care. In the log file the crash mentions [-32769, -9] but this is a ChunkPosition, which means the x coordinate was somewhere between -1048608 and -1048577.
