Prevent New Chunk Generation

[87wtmn]

Hey everyone!

I have run into a situation where I have around 250k chunks for a save and I do not want any additional chunks to be generated. I have already run some commands to remove useless chunks, but those chunks will be regenerated when I take a train to a far away outpost.

I am wondering if there is a way to disable new chunk generation for this specific case (via command or setting)?

I know this feature is available in the map editor with the “Generate neighbor chunks” checkbox, but I haven’t found any information on doing so while not in the map editor.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

My solution is to send a spidertron or tank with enough bots instead of going there myself. Then only the closest chunks will be generated.

you can enter map editor from the save by using \editor. Thus, any option you can do in map editor can be used just as easily on a save
