Factorio Forums

I've had this problem recurringly over a few of my factorio games, where attempting to explore beyond the starting area, reveals a single map chunk of land, and then the world border. There is no further land visable beyond this edge. The most recent incident of this has been with the Space Age DLC and Update, entirely unmodded, but it has happened in modded and unmodded before the Space Age update. I am not sure how many times this has happened to me, but it has happened when i have spent the first amount of game time in just the starting area, and not leaving until i have trains and cars available and built.

Thanks for the report. For some reason, your map is limited to 500x500. Please double-check your map size in Advanced tab before starting a new map - it should be empty.
