Hey, I'm here presenting a petition to expand the functional universe size on roblox. As you may or may not know, Irellus recently sent out an expedition to explore the edges of the universe in space-craft capable of high speeds, and we concluded: The universe is a perfect square! If you fly to 60000,0,0 you'll reach the edge, where the players stop walking perfectly normal. However. If you fly to 60000,0,60000 (a magnitude of 80000) you also reach a barrier, but you still function. Reason for me to believe it's square. Anyway. The petition is: Expand the roblox universe. Allow our characters to function beyond this small limit, please.

If ROBLOX would expand this box then there would be lag festivals every where. If your where to expand the roblox universe then it would have no meaning because no one uses the outer edges of the box. if you stop walking normal when you reach 60000,0,0, what makes you think you will walk even more normal if you go even farther?

That's the barrier we want to expand.

Expanding the maximum size of Workspace would allow for larger space-themed places. Distances in space are enormous, and spacecraft travel at very high speeds. 60K studs can be easily traversed by a fast spaceship.

I went beyond 60k. I noticed I can walk but character start to shake slightly. I also used the teleporter to get to 200k studs and it starts to get glitchy, but can walk fine. The farther you go, the glitchier it gets.

I actually made it to 1,000,000. My charachter became so glitchy, I could see his face through the helmet and there were invisible walls my charachter bumped into, but it was possible. I don't see why anyone would need any more than one million studs, so... No support.

I tested and you can walk fine. However, the hard limit is 1,000,034 studs. As you approach the limit, your character gets glitchier. Therefore, you can expand the game beyond 60k just fine, but it gets glitchier the farther you go from the center. (0, 0, 0) Try not to put stuff beyond 100k studs. Once you approach the 1 million studs, vehicles stop working properly and physics are messed up. (I tried the table flip at 200k studs and the table just spun.) Once you get past 1 million studs, camera stops working properly, you'll be unable to move it with right mouse button. It's the technical limitations at the moment. You can try this. http://www.roblox.com/Roblox-Distance-Limits-place?id=124678014 I even put a baseplate at the 60k studs mark, try walking around, you can walk around fine.

Dragin and I tried to help Kdawg with this, and it didn't turn out so well. I still support the petition

Instead of expanding it, why not use multiple Workspaces? Multiple Workspaces: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=91485818

Isn't this scriptable? It wouldn't show benefits if all had this on default; a lot of games thrive on small spaces. It would just cause them to lag and glitch. ROBLOX is the players' universe. The reason we're allowed to build and create is so we can do these kinds of things ourselves. I'd imagine moderators are looking for update ideas only they can make.

You mean that 216000000000000 studs is not enough? Really? If it's a perfect square, then it should be that many studs in volume. Of course, that's a perfect cube. What about the y-axis and the negatives? 60000 to 0 to -60000, perhaps? Did he take that into account?
