# Guide to change maximum locations in shapez
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Where do I find the settings to increase/decrease the amount of possible locations?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum values of the `goal_amount` and `shapesanity_amount` are hardcoded settings that affect the datapackage.
|
||
|
|
They are stored in a file called `options.json` inside the apworld. By changing them, you will create a custom apworld
|
||
|
|
on your local machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to change datapackage options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This tutorial is for advanced users and can result in the software not working properly, if not read carefully.
|
||
|
|
Proceed at your own risk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Go to `<AP installation>/lib/worlds`.
|
||
|
|
2. Rename `shapez.apworld` to `shapez.zip`.
|
||
|
|
3. Open the zip file and go to `shapez/data/options.json`.
|
||
|
|
4. Edit the values in this file to your desire and save the file.
|
||
|
|
- `max_shapesanity` cannot be lower than `4`, as this is the minimum amount to prevent FillErrors.
|
||
|
|
- `max_shapesanity` also cannot be higher than `75800`, as this is the maximum amount of possible shapesanity names.
|
||
|
|
Else the multiworld generation might fail.
|
||
|
|
- `max_levels_and_upgrades` cannot be lower than `27`, as this is the minimum amount for the `mam` goal to properly
|
||
|
|
work.
|
||
|
|
5. Close the zip and rename it back to `shapez.apworld`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why do I have to do this manually?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For every game in Archipelago, there must be a list of all possible locations, **regardless of player options**. When
|
||
|
|
generating a multiworld, a list of all locations of all included games will be saved in the multiworld data and sent to
|
||
|
|
all clients. The higher the amount of possible locations, the bigger the datapackage. And having ~80000 possible
|
||
|
|
locations at one point made the datapackage for shapez bigger than all other supported games combined. So to reduce the
|
||
|
|
datapackage of shapez, the locations for shapesanity are named `Shapesanity 1`, `Shapesanity 2` etc. instead of their
|
||
|
|
actual names. By creating a custom apworld, you can increase the amount of possible locations, but you will also
|
||
|
|
increase the size of the datapackage at the same time.
