World limits.

[Frostygale]

Anybody know what the world limits are? Max height, Max distance from spawn, Max depth, etcetc?

As far as you can go before your system crashes. It is a generated world. So there is no end, except you hardware from what I heard in Dev videos.

The game only has height limits
Bedrock is at height 0, so height 1 is the lowest you can go. And elevator only goes to 253 (meaning the top is at 256) iirc

The highest height I've managed to get to is 511. (According to the compass in the top-left.)(Required what would probably be considered a bug.)

Although this was before the recent patch. I haven't tried getting that high again. Currently busy digging a tunnel, so can't check right now.

EDIT:
Using jetpack, I can get to 257. Using an exploit/bug I got to 508.
The exploit/bug was getting myself on top of a drone that is heading to the space station. That took me up to 508.

So I tested it.
My jet pack let's me get to 270
But you can't build past 255 (the top of any building can't past it.)
Even though the Elevator can be set to 253, you have set to 252.
Since the largest non-modular machine is 12 meters tall, you last foundation shouldn't be higher then 242.

I tried to ride one of the transport ships up to the station, but once I get to a certain height it kicks me off no matter how much parkour I do. I didnt look to see how high i was when it kicks me off.

When I did it I think it was about the 245 mark.

Just realised I didn't post a screenshot of the height. Got up here by riding a ship to it's max height before it moves into position to go up, then flew to where they do go up, and rode one to the max height. Gotta keep the jetpack on the entire time, and be a close to the exact middle as possible, otherwise they try to push you off. (Also gotta avoid any that are coming down.)

Ok, elevator speed and digging speed makes more sense then. In Fortresscraft evolved you can dig much deeper. Also Foundry is a bit like Factorio in that the more you explore the more lag you get. So it's probably better to not explore much if you want good fps. Still it has much less lag this far than Satisfactory and Factorio when building a mega factory. And the save time is 1 second at endgame.

did some experiments and game save size can't go much over 500MB before the game refuses to save the game anymore.

Tested by traveling ~130k blocks out (game hung on trying to save at 128k+) and separately exploring an area ~20k by 5k.

This works out to roughly 100k chunks or an area 10k blocks on a side.
