Super large planets crash the game since Sparks of Future update
Hello, i am the developer of the SEWorldGenPlugin. If you dont know what it is, it is a plugin for Space Engineers, which creates random generated solar systems, asteroid rings and allows the generation of larger sized planets. Since the Sparks of Future update however, the game crashes upon generation of those planets. There are some players in the community who use the plugin to generate larger planets or simply solar systems for dedicated servers, which is why it is an issue. I know that plugins are not offically supported by KSH, but it was the only way to get random generation of planets and asteroids working.
If it is indeed a bug, here are the steps to reproduce it:
1. Start the game with the plugin installed
2. Generate a new empty world and enable the plugin in the world settings
3. Spawn a large planet (ca. >1200km) from the plugins admin menu, which is located in the normal admin menu.
4. If the game does not crash, please try larger planets, since the size can vary.
Cause:
The game crashes due to an index out of bounds exception in the MyVoxelClipmap class in the ApplySettings method. That is, because the LODRanges are limited to 16, however, on large planets the number can exceed 16, which causes the crash.
