Anyone getting crazy amounts of time to generate and run a full 16K prerendered map? Also, are there any good seeds for 17.4? All of them seem incredibly dull repetitive run of the mill biomes, awful compared to what we had in 16 in my opinion, no more majestic mountains or lakes, just endless biome patches. Is anyone having any luck with seeds? :crushed:
PC Using 60 GB of RAM to make a 16K map in RWG preview
- Thread starter Foobucket
- Start date
CPU: AMD Threadripper 2 2990WX
Memory: 128GB DDR4 G-Skill Trident-Z RGB
GPU: 2 Nvidia RTX 2080Ti's in SLI
Storage: 2 1TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 Drives
PSU: Corsair AX1600i
So I don't think I should have any issues, and with this hardware if I'm getting that kind of performance, that's pretty ridiculous. I guess I'll have to try out NitroGen after all, it's just that it uses Java, and I really try to avoid putting Java on my machine. I avoid it like the plague.

I would give it a try. I personally love the cities and biome distribution a lot more than vanilla. The newest version is pretty great!
I am sure a good deal of the performance it garners is the fact that it is 100% seed generation and nothing else is occupying your ram needlessly.

I also use Nitrogen to generate 16 K maps. I have a Ryzen 7 2700X with 32GB, running Linux. It generates in less than 45 minutes and the generation process doesn't really use that much memory - 12GB or so, and the parms you pass to java will let it use more or less memory. It is not, however, very efficiently multi-threaded. Neither is vanilla RWG generation. If they put some serious multi threading in it, it could run 5-10 times faster.
Damocles did an amazing job on Nitrogen. My players love the worlds, the biomes and layout are amazing, and there are a lot of options for things like cities/towns amount and size, rivers, small/large lakes. It is everything vanilla RWG should have been, and more. TFP has a tough act to follow. They put the potential into RWG, but they have not taken advantage of it.

Vanilla RWG generation It is not efficiently multi threaded, and the processes might be i/o bound. It doesn't really use cpu/threads like a process like that should - generating a world should be able to take advantage of parallelism, I think TFP just hasn't had the time to optimize the code.
Nitrogen is written in Java, but don't let that stop you from using it. If you are on Linux, you just stick java in /usr/local/java and set a path to it in /etc/profile.d. It will not have any effect on the rest of your system. If you are using Winbloze, manually extract java to some directory out of the way somewhere like c:\java and set a path to it. If you install Java manually, it has a minimal impact on your machine. Just don't run the installer.

would be cool if fun pimps optimize the game for the monster CPUs that are comming soon by AMD in order to generate huge ass maps in no time

You're a troll are you not? All I've seen on the forums today is you bashing TFP....not cool bro.
