World Size

[MQSandwitches]

So I was watching one of the Live Streams today, and I noticed that the procedurally generated world in PixArk still seems to have the invisible barriers that exist in the normal game.

Is it known if those are going to be in the final version of the game, or not?

How is this going to work with the DLC Biomes if the world has a fixed size?

that maps are procedurally generated. the map size is 2km x 2km

2km x 2km...

You can't be serious, can you? That would make it WAY smaller than The Island in the normal Ark game (36 km x 36 km).

sorry, I got the diemensions wrong. on the xy axis it goes from -2 to 2, so its four by four km. And you have to take into account above and below the 0 of the z axis. ther eis a lot more space below and above the ground for travel, building, resource mining.

You have also portals on each map which seem to teleport you on to different maps.

4x4 is just as unimpressive, though >_>

Are these "Different Maps" still part of the same server? If not, this is way too small.

4km by 4km even with the underground stuff is still tiny compared to basically any other game in this genre. If that is all you get per-server, then you're going to run out of room pretty fast. I don't want to have to have 3 different private servers to equal half of the space on The Island.


I'm not trying to argue with you guys, I REALLY want this game to be good. I'm just worried and hoping that maybe one of the devs might pop in with a bit of info...

Not sure, but I believe its like Minecraft a "infinite" world, and on xbox its limited.

The world in the videos looks much bigger than 4km².

there are definitely limits to the world right now, with force fields and everything


Also thos portals are portals to different areas of teh same map, from what I can tell.

I'm pretty sure I heard something like "Minecraft Size Worlds" , and in Minecraft Worlds are only on consoles limited.

Oh man... thats even worse. This isn't really looking like something I'm going to be able to justify paying $30. Its just too small.

[EvilReFlex]

The game is out, can someone tell me how big the world really is?
Is it like Minecraft?

[Llurendt]

Right now the map size is fixed at 4x4. The portals do indeed seem to go to different places in the same world. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they changed it to allow for a larger map.

This is really unfortunate. I won't spend $30 on a game about building and exploration that has a maps this tiny. If I'm honest, I'll come back if they ever make it like Minecraft.

The maps are NOT tiny, trust me, you guys are being misinformed. A map is 4096x4096 with cube count alone. To fly from one end of the map to the other, takes long, even with a Ptera, and you'll land a couple of times to recharge stamina. It would have been silly to have puny maps like presumed above, and that would have made the game pointless.
