[0.12.12] Active chunks beyond world border.

Post by PiggyWhiskey »

I'm playing with a thin world at the moment (500 tiles high) and I'm noticing the debug "show_active_chunks" are spread out beyond the border where the pollution "should" be.
Screenshot
While this is minor, I'm not sure if it's making it easier on me that so much pollution is spreading out of the world without impacting the biters as it should.

Well, this is how the game is defined to behave, not really a bug.

Ahh. Okay I was a little worried that as my base grew I'd have a large amount of chunks out there doing nothing but at the same time affecting FPS.

But if it does nothing not a problem.

Also, thanks for an amazing game.

Well, it affects the fps slightly, as these chunks need to be updated, but as there is nothing else to simulate than the pollution, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Does "no tile" have a pollution reduction value of non-zero? If not, the pollution will never dissipate. That could be an issue.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I don't know, you can check :)
