At default settings, how big will DH files be?
Obviously this depends on how much I've generated, but I'm trying to figure out the order of magnitude of the file sizes. Will I be looking at megabytes or potentially many gigabytes? Let's say within the range of 128 to 4096 chunk render distance radius. I'm currently generating, but as there is no progress bar I have no idea if I'm 10% of the way or 90% of the way there, so I don't know what final size to expect (roughly speaking).

Generating 4096 lods will take a long time, and will have your sqlite file in the gigabytes. I would just leave your computer for the day and let it generate then maybe by the end of the day it will have finished. This also depends on what your pc specs are and what your generation settings are on.
Thanks! I probably don't need 4096, was just doing it for the giggles. Knowing that it will be gigabytes, I'll definitely be lowering it. Could you give me an estimate of where the threshold is for the file to be ~1GB? I think I'd be comfortable at around the single gigabyte threshold
I don't really know where the 1gb mark is sorry but you could try generating a small amount then slowly increasing whilst checking your file size
alrighty i'll probably end up doing that, thanks!
I do want to leave this open in case a developer or someone else who is more knowledgeable can share a rough estimate of what a gigabyte radius would be, like just a ballpark estimate is fine like ~500 or ~2000 etc
Sorry I couldn't be of more use, I don't really generate large amounts of lods myself and also have no problems with file sizes.
hundreds of gigabytes if youre doing 4096
yikes okay so im gonna lower that for sure
okay so for anyone in the future that might have a similar question, it looks like even 512 is beyond the 1gb threshold good to know
necessary caveat is that i have terralith and a few structure mods which probably add to the lod file size
Yea even with a smaller render distance 1 gb will be easily reached
I would recommend increasing your storage limit to about 10gb if you have enough space on your disc
hmm okay i’ll keep watching the progress of the file size and reassess as i go. i have the space so 10gb should be fine
