#[SPZ2-6125] [1.0.2-rc1] Game stops responding when editing map generation

When playing around with the map generation my game will randomly freeze completely. Even waiting ~18 minutes (I had to step away for a phone call while experimenting) the game does not recover.
I am trying to create a world that will be all pure uncolored shapes and messing with the spiral settings. It does not seem consistent which setting triggers the freeze, but it happens eventually. I have tried doing things in different orders, and only doing certain combinations, but nothing seems consistent with the setting I am changing or the one immediately before it.

1. [SPZ2-6125] — ✨ 88% similar

Game Hangs when Shape Asteroids Patch Likelihood is over 100% and then uncolored half's weight is reduced
To Do • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0.4 release (Hotfix 2) • Game: 1.0.0-RC2

The game hangs indefinitely when configuring Map Generation settings for a new Classic Mode Regular scenario. Setting the Shape Asteroids Patch Likelihood above 100% and then reducing the Uncolored Half's Weight slider to its minimum triggers the hang. Other slider combinations may also cause this issue. The game becomes unresponsive and does not recover. Any interaction with Map Generation settings should not cause hangs, crashes, or errors.

1.0.0-alpha2-rc1 Patch Likeness for shape asteroids map generation has gone from a 1000% limit to 10000% limit and can cause the game to hang indefinitely
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0 Release [1.0.0] • Game: 1.0.0-alpha2-rc1 • Resolution: Fix Verified

In version 1.0.0-alpha2-rc1, the Extraction Spots likeness limit for Shape Asteroids in map generation was increased from 1000% to 10000%. Setting this value above 1000% causes the game to hang indefinitely and creates unplayable maps with very condensed extraction areas. Moving the slider at high values also causes significant performance issues. The issue can be reproduced by starting any game mode, returning to the main menu, creating a new Classic Mode game with Regular scenario, and incr...

PATCH LIKENESS set to 1000% on Map generation preview causes out of ram
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

When setting PATCH LIKENESS to maximum (1000%) in the Custom Map generation preview, the game experiences severe performance degradation, running out of RAM and causing the frame rate to drop to 0-1 FPS. The issue occurs when toggling all Map Generator settings to their maximum values in the Customize Scenario Preset menu. Upon canceling the preview, the Main Menu flashes bright green. The game may crash due to the map being overloaded, confirmed on both mid and low-end systems. Console error...

Moving back Shape Asteroids Patch Likeliness to 0% will cause the game to not have any more shape asteroids
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Not A Bug

When the Shape Asteroid Extraction Spots Likeliness slider is moved to 100% and then back to 0% in the Map Generation settings during new game creation, all Shape Asteroids disappear from the map. At 0% initially, Shape Asteroids appear normally, but adjusting the slider to 100% and returning it to 0% removes all asteroids, preventing the Operator from mining Shapes. This was determined to be intentional behavior rather than a bug, as the custom map generation options are designed to allow cr...

Map generation produces spikes
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: 2 - Demo • Resolution: Done

Map generation / chunk generation causes performance spikes that drop framerate to below 10 fps when zooming around in Space View. The issue occurs when exploring new areas of the map, with generation taking up to 700ms and rendering taking 130ms in the original version. This affects both the main menu and game loading speed. Performance improvements have been made that reduced garbage by 65% and time by 78%, making generation time roughly equal to rendering time, though performance is still ...

Changing shape asteroid settings causes all the shape asteroids to vanish outside the vortex chunk in map generation
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Not A Bug

When modifying Shape Asteroid settings in the map generation screen (excluding Patch Likeness), all Shape Asteroids disappear outside The Vortex chunk, leaving only Fluid Asteroids visible. This occurs in both Manufacture Mode and Classic Mode when creating a new game under Founder's Journey. The user expects Shape Asteroids to remain present outside The Vortex or Waste Provider chunk area regardless of configuration changes. However, this appears to be intended behavior when Patch Likeliness...

This issue is similar, but I was still receiving a crash even when not changing the patch liklihood at all.

#

to be clear I did receive an issue after changing the patch liklihood a few times, but it was not changed every time

Thanks for adding this report! It seems there's more than one way to encounter it, but it mainly seems to be affected by the thickness of patches. We'll look into this one soon!

I've experience the same exactly with the uncolored weight, so I've added that to our internal ticket for further investigation, thank you for looking into it! 🙂
