Help with regions: distance limit?

Post by Realspace » Sat, 29. Oct 22, 13:34

After rebuilding every sector and putting regions far towards the planets (highly immersive) I realised that no matter how big they are and how far you put them, there is an hard-coded limit of 1500km from the sector's center. Beyond that, no resource is applied, invisibile for map, probe, autotrader. Only the player can mine. The scene is applied, resources are not.

Is there a way to change this? Hope is not hardcoded :doh:

I'm afraid it's technically not feasible to extend the resource areas beyond a hard limit. It's already getting problematic in several ways: memory usage, time to start a new game, time to save and load, and savegame size to mention just a few.

Thank you for the answer. I imagined that memory would be overloaded. Good to know that this is hardcoded. I found a workaround by moving connections and zones instead, to extend sector's space. Happy that this was the only solution, am not losing time then ;-)
