Changing the maximum chunk radius in a Vintage Story server primarily affects the distance a player can see and interact with the world. Increasing the radius allows for a greater render distance and larger effective loaded area, which can improve the experience for players with good computers by showing more of the world at once. However, a larger radius also increases the server's memory and CPU usage, potentially leading to performance issues or lag for players.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

4. Next to MaxChunkRadius, enter the desired chunk radius.
Note: A chunk in Vintage Story is equal to
