    The idea is do the map more large, and can do zoom in the map, i think the creations have to short space, and can do greatest thinks if have more space, so what you think?

     

    PD: Sorry for my bad english, im spanish.

    You are not the first to suggest this. The problem with doing that is the speed TPT runs at, is inverse proportional to the area of the simulation. If you make it 2x larger in both directions, TPT will run 4x slower. Not everyone has got a supercomputer, even my Intel® CoreTM i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz barely manages to do 150 FPS on empty unpaused screen.

    EDIT: also why is it in scripting section

    well the thing is you can already zoom, press z and scroll up to make it larger or down to make the window smaller ;)

    I also think that tpt should make the map where you creat you creation/saves bigger but it would make tpt run slower :( but I totaly agree that there should be a larger map you have a very good idea

    How much would a larger screen that is empty lag? If you kept the same particle limit wouldn't there be little or no difference?
