26 Oct 2024 - Thanks to a few tweaks to the back-end infrastructure, the server save will now last 10 minutes at most, rather than way over 20 as it did before.
Check full changelog...
Map is divided on sectors, each sector has a size of 32x32 tiles. Surface of the map has width and height of 48 sectors.
Cylinder is a set of sectors of the same [x, y] coordinates but different floors. So each cylinder includes 1 to 16 sectors, as there are 16 possible floors.
When the server starts, so does the refreshing loop. Every minute 8 cylinders are refreshed.
It starts in top left corner and ends in the right bottom corner of the map, and then goes all over again.
That means each part of the map refreshes at its own time, but the interval is 4h48min everywhere
