Random Chitchat 2012-2016

I tried to implement waking up the fluid simulators when a chunk is generated, so that generated springs get flowing and seas fill any caves into which they've connected. Unfortunately that doesn't work so easy - in debug, it ate up 2 GiB of RAM within seconds of starting the server up - just loading the initial spawn. In release, it didn't eat up the RAM, but it eats one entire CPU core for the simulator wakup and it generates chunks indefinitely, because each chunk's edge triggers a generation of the neighboring chunk.

Well, I managed to drop the generating, but still even in release it eats up so much CPU that it's useless. I need to find a better way. The good news is that I can drop half of PreSimulator finishgen, because its fluid processing cannot be used.

i editted the ores a bit becouse some ores were just too common.
what I have is based on small texts that I first did not see in the wiki.

As a first step it's good. Eventually, we should base the counts and sizes on what we find using AnvilStats. I just haven't had the time to make an analyser for ore nests there. Anyone up for the job? Smile

Sounds reasonable.

Done!
Additionally I have used Torch's code to modify Ladder's behavior.

vines should be able to be placed on all (Cube) blocks. a torch can't be placed on every cube block. for example: i now can't place a vine at the side of a leave block.

I agree with you up to a point, but it is not possible to place vines on all (Cube) block(eg. glass).

Stupid mistake!
