What Hardcoded Limits Exist in Dyson?

(1/2) > >>

DeathByNukes:
What sorts of limitations are there in the Dyson demo?
I know there's some upper limit in agents per level and there can be no more than 24 enemy factions. I suspect there's a limit to number of agents in transit at once and I'm also wondering how the AI handles these limits.

I'm asking because I'm trying to make a large level but I've gotten random crashes during play. (some sort of out of bounds error, maybe ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
This is a level that caused a crash:

Alex:
I'm surprised you don't get crashes with 24 teams - I thought the max would be however many rows there are in the teams.png file. Try editing that to make it bigger and see if that works...

Rudolf:
Can't wait to get the LUA stuff out :-D

Melly:
Another limit I found is on number of planted dyson trees, at least in a single asteroid. Edited a file to allow me to plant 99 trees in each asteroid. Started planting over and over until I reached around 70+ trees, I think, in a single asteroid and the game crashed.

Should this limitation only happen in a single asteroid, or is that a limit to all trees in the level?

Alex:
I will investigate the crash at some point; there's no reason I can think of that it might happen.
