Maps now smaller?

[GoHereDoThis]

I've only ever played on the default maps but I could swear the map was bigger in the beta version of ONI.  Am I imagining things?  Is there a way to get bigger maps back?

Thanks!

Pretty sure they are smaller, if not smaller then thinner.  I think they are taller now.

[GoHereDoThis]

Nah, I think thinner *and* shorter.  If so, can we not get the bigger maps back?

windows directory is something like this

..\Steam\steamapps\common\OxygenNotIncluded\OxygenNotIncluded_Data\StreamingAssets\worldgen\worlds\

Inside the relevant asteroid file, edit this:

worldsize:
  X: 256
  Y: 384

These are the defaults and have been like that for a long time (per my memory).

If you want 60fps at 10x speed late game I recommend x:128 y:384 (half width)

Change it to whatever you want. Small sizes might fail - try a new seed.

Thanks!  Is this a supported mod though?  Or will it break something?

Anyone know how big the old maps used to be?

Yeah maps shrunk long ago, because larger maps caused way to much lag back then, while they added stuff over stuff.

It was pretty clear that map-size was decreased to assure tolerable performance. You want the lag back?

Hmm I might even try 192x256

I actually wouldn't mind them being even smaller.

Actual map size is already twice too much. I'm playing on 2/3 of default map size, and very late game's still lagging. And the size is enough (even too much) to tame every critter, to farm every seed, to maintain more than 50 dups, and to produce anything from anything.

Then compact and efficient designs are the road to success

Nice! I need to try this. The upcoming DLC may have a smaller base and small maps for space as well.

Well maybe not that small  but I will try a minibase challenge some day.

I guess I never made it to the late game to get lag issues.
