Map size?
So I’ve read up online and it says the map is huge but it comes at a cost to computer stability is this true or a old mechanic of the game ?

The map is nearly infinite in size unless you specify limits, but only the chunks that have been generated (usually a few chunks beyond what was revealed) will impact performance since the rest of the map simply doesn't exist at that point.

As long as you don't explore too much or send artillery everywhere (since it generates all of the chunks in its manual firing range, which is quite a bit larger than the auto firing range) you will be fine.

I tried using a hover to the east at the map thought of circumnavigating it... 3 hours, and still not circumnavigated the entire map...]

The map gets infinitely generated. The closest thing to reaching a map edge is driving in the same direction until you run out of available RAM and the game probably crashes.

Map is not infinite technically
If I remember correct its 2kk*2kk tiles
okay so i'll have enough space for a newb to atleast enjoy for a few hundred hours :)?

max map-size is 1.000.000 x 1.000.000 tiles

type
/c game.player.teleport({999990, 999990})
twice in the chat and you will see the end of the map.

I have more than 500 hours in my current factory, and about 3000 hours overall. Map size will NEVER be an issue unless you make it one.

It's 2 million by 2 million, so I'm guessing the coordinates go negative too, or 999999, 999999 isn't the end of the map yet.

Yes, it's 2.000.000 x 2.000.000.
Your start position is 0, 0.
1.000.000 in each direction.

But try

/c game.player.teleport({999990, 999990})

You can see the end of the map.
Okay thank you i'm not to fussed by the end of the map just don't wanna be building and run out of space :') thats all :D
