| Summary | 0001616: worldgen stops at megabeast check | ||||
| Description | every time I make a new world, the simulation is run untill "check megabeast percentage", rather than "end year". | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1: go to generate world with parameters. 2: select smaller or pocket region. 3: go to advanced, note end year and megabeast check start. 4: generate world, compare stop year with earlier noted numbers. | ||||
| Additional Information | this bug has shown up in both vanilla and a modded version (specificaly, suika fortress 0.5.5). | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
an additional test has shown that anything above smaller region is not affected by the bug. |

This is expected behaviour. On a smaller world, it is far more likely that megabeasts will be culled early. This means that when the worldgen passes the Megabeast Check Year, it is highly likely that it will find that there are not enough megabeasts in the world for it to continue. Thus, it stops at that year. Larger worlds will have more megabeasts and more "hiding places". Edit: Does this explain things? Edit 2: Actually it does appear that there is odd behaviour at work here. It appears pocket worlds only spawn a single megabeast and a single titan by default. This seems to automatically put the world in a "megabeast free" state. Increasing the number of titans to three lets the world generation run to the end. |

Nothing here seems that buggy. |
