    BVE: How big is the world

    I remember a post somewhere on the max length of a route, but I don't remember the number. Also how wide is the default BVE world, and can it be made wider with a command or by extending ground cover?

        Joshim are you certain you don't mean you have gotten to 10,000m? Because 10000m, or 10000 in BVE, is only 10km.

        The maximum limit for BVE route length, as of BVE 2.3.11, and unchanged as of yet, is 1000km, or 100000m.

        The other limits of BVE as of BVE 2.3:

        Route Length: 1000km.
        Freeobject Placements: 4096
        Freeobjects, defined: 256
        Walls: 16
        Dikes: 16
        Rails, defined: 64
        Rails, in BVE: 16
        Grounds: 256
        Cycles: 256

        The other limits of BVE as of BVE 2.5:

        Route Length: 1000km.
        Freeobject Placements: Unlimited
        Freeobjects, defined: 65335
        Walls: 256
        Dikes: 256
        Rails, defined: 256
        Rails, in BVE: 16
        Grounds: 256
        Cycles: 256

        These are basically the only things you could conceivably run out of. Left out are the number of times you can place signals, stations, the number of times you can use the railtype or other commands, but these are presumed to be unlimited. Not many people would probably want to drive a route with more than about 100-125 station stops in it anyhow. The Piccadilly, with 104, takes about three hours to drive, and as much as I would like to, I don't generally have 3 hours to commit to driving a train in BVE. As for signals, to my knowlege, no one has encountered a limit. It is likely unlimited.

        Thats probably much more than you wanted to know but hey, if you can get all the info in one place, why not?

        PS: Edinburgh to Carnoustie by Don Clarke (great route, click to www.gotopcs.net to get it, and the Bo'Ness branchline) is 114km long and still growing, fully functional in BVE 2.0 and above!

            As far as my ground tetures go they are +/- 500m from dreving rail, although my canary wharf docks, range from -250 to + 100, but I think 250 is the limit?

              210 ft or 63m. But even at 82m, all the tunnel walls are caving in on the track...
