Hey, it has been awhile. I have a question, is there a specific reason why the ride limit of 1k was chosen instead of like 2k or 4k, or 8k? Does this have anything to do with integers?

First: I am in no way a developer or anything like this. But I heard, that this was choosen, because the new save format still is not able to handle infinite rides.

That is _technically_ right: it can handle 18446744073709551615 rides.

But seeing as computers have a limited amount of memory, we had to pick _something_, and so we picked 1000. That is not set in stone, if lots of people run into it we will raise it. But it’s generally better to start off on the lower side, because raising a limit causes way fewer problems than lowering it.

So, 18 duodecellion is the true max limit, eh? Thank you for clarifying that it is due to the DRAM limits in the persona computer, I seem to have hit that limit, but I will live with that until more people request the increase.
