Item Count fixed?

Im hearing conflicting info on the base item count. I know there was a limit of 12k + or - on the items allowed in the base before it ran a high risk of becoming corrupted. But someone said the issues was fix and we can now go up to 20k or something?

Can anyone confirm?

You CAN go up to 20k. However! That 20k seems to include all of the salvage in your racks, as well.

We've long since noticed that at about 14,500+ items, the base vanishes into never-never land, and the GMs have to restore it from backup (which makes them grumpy). Therefore, we recommend stopping at about 12,000 - 14,000 objects.

Nevermind that you can't get 6,000 items into storage from your base, but there seems to be an overhead cost.

Does that help ?

Yes, it does thank you.

Is there a way to get a count of the number of items in a base? Well, other than actually counting. Is it tracked and reported somewhere? Is there a command for getting the number?

I have a base that regularly hovers in the 18,000-19,000 range and has for the past six months at least. So far, no instances of disappearing into the void. It seems doable to me, but your mileage may vary depending on which items you use. Motion (trees), particle effects (torches), and high polygon count (pale wood book shelves) have proven to have a negative effect on base performance in large numbers and/or concentrations.

Thanks for the info!
