 Run it once with the options it came with, see how many objects terrain processor created. In my case it was 107,000 objects which is nice round number 100k.
-Arma3 terrains have limit of roughly 6-6.5 million objects give or take, so lets calculate 6 / 0.107 == 56. This means we can add hectare density to 56 before running much over 6 million generated objects.
+With the release of arma3 64bit version terrains have object count limit so high that we have not been able to import so many objects to terrain builder that it would have crashed binarize or arma3_x64.exe itself. in [[https://www.pmctactical.org/arma3/terrain.php|PMC Balkans Kosovo]] we tested roughly 20 million objects which worked fine, PMC Suwalki Gap which is available for download right now has 18.1 million (18,134,807) objects. This tutorial was written prior to 64bit binary release.
+Before 64bit binary release I used this formula: So lets calculate 6 / 0.107 == 56. This means we can add hectare density to 56 before running much over 6 million generated objects.
 hectare density for forests is okay-ish I guess. Lets try that first.
