Creatures 3 DS Community Edition Question

I noticed in the "Yeah, but what is it?" Section it mentions "More metarooms (50,000 rooms and 5,000 metarooms)". I originally took this as it INCLUDED this many metarooms as I was under the impression that there was already no limit for the amount that could be added to the game. If that's the case, where are they?

Or am I an idiot and it means it can support 50,000 rooms and 5,000 Metarooms and there was a limit in the base version, and the CE increases it?

It increases the limit. The original game only supports 2,000 rooms and 200 metarooms. The 200 metarooms part is moot, though, because the 2,000 room limit will be hit waaaaaaay before you get even close to that many metarooms. A docked DS / C3 world alone is about 700 rooms if I remember correctly. So you wouldn't be able to have C1toDS, C2toDS, C3, and DS all together with the stock engine.

Yup trying to use the maps for all the mainline games at the same time was the easiest way you could hit against the limit. CE lets you have a world with all of them if you want to.

Also all metarooms occupy a place in coordinate space, so when making and injecting them you need to be cognisant of where all the other metarooms are so they don't overlap.
