Reply to comment by Riptide360 in Tijuana Airport, Christmas Eve by Quilp

Would be interesting to see how that impacts prices. Flights from Tijuana are like…75% cheaper than flights to the same destination from San Diego, even though the airports are at most 20 minutes away from each other.

Ahh I think you misunderstood my original question. I wasn’t asking about how user-specified seeds are handled.

What I meant was, when I mine/build/craft, altering the state of the world, how is that new world state persisted (since the results of my actions would not be present in the procedurally generated chunk)?

That doesn’t sound right.

Finding the seed that yields a specific world plus a specific set of user changes would require a brute force search of all possible seeds, which is completely infeasible.

Even if you could do it, the encoding would be no more space-efficient than an optimally-compressed diff.
