This would allow the code to set it dynamically based on the furthest chunk that is already generated, so that users do not need to adjust this setting as their world grows.  Currently it needs to be set properly in the default.cfg before first run.\r\n\r\nIn addition, if there are very few valid chunks in the world (because someone just generated a new world and never flew about it to pregenerate the chunks) then dungeon generation will likely fail.  A warning message should be output if the world size is very small, or if there are very few available chunks, letting them know that they need to either increae max_dist or cause some chunk generation before running mcdungeon."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/orphu/mcdungeon/issues/comments/94055020","html_url":"https://github.com/orphu/mcdungeon/issues/294#issuecomment-94055020","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/orphu/mcdungeon/issues/294","id":94055020,"user":{"login":"JiFish","id":1314002,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1314002?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish","html_url":"https://github.com/JiFish","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JiFish/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-17T19:09:45Z","updated_at":"2015-04-17T19:09:45Z","body":"A warning if your world size is massively incongruous with your max_dist setting would seem to be very useful.
