How truly infinite is that?
« on: September 28, 2011, 07:36:46 am »
I'm sorry for theshort post but i'm writing on my phone.

I was wondering how infinite the game was. I know the map is but what about the limits for your settlements? Seeing how long it took me to reach level 2 this is very long but not infinite. Knowing about programmation and i know you can't have an infinite variable. So for the levels, what is the max cap variable set to? Is it like 99 orwaybigger than that like a large float?

I also find a lot of health potion. What is the max value for those in my inv?

I know this sound abit technical but still i'd like to know...

Oh btw please do add some loot from thebosses. I know you arebusy with it soi don't addit to the mantis but do consider it. I was surprised having no loot frombosses...

The max cap for the levels is about 2 billion.  I expect the game would run out of RAM well before then if you generated a world that was thus multiple billions of regions, but you can certainly get into the millions within RAM limits in single player I expect.

The max number of health potions in one stack is I think 99.  You can have 100 slots of items in your inventory max.

Ok very interesting. So PLENTY of levels. I would be probably be dead before reaching that level. Thus infinite world with a large amount of levels with almostno cap. Thanks for the details x4000

Sure, but someone would probably wander along and carry it on for you.  ;)
