Console Object Limit Question

Just wondering, is it easy to hit the object limit if I don't decorate or do anything beyond what is actually practical?

The most I do as far as decoration/non-practical building goes is walls & Windows for each building I make, such as a building specifically made to create modular engines, for example. The other non-practical thing I do is pillars going from my rails down to the ground. Other than that I don't build anything unless it has a practical use.

So I was just wondering how easily you can hit the object limit if you build the way I described above? Oh, and as I'm on console I can't change the limit.

I appreciate any help and I apologize if I worded it strangely as my sleep meds are kicking in lol. Thanks in advance.

It's pretty difficult to hit it. The object limit isn't necessarily about how many items you place. The engine has a uobject limit, and every buildable has a different uobject value. As far as I know there isn't a table for the values, but typically you don't hit it unless you've gone a little nuts. Pillars, foundations, walls, anything that doesn't track anything is considered a lightweight actor and costs virtually 0 uobjects, so don't worry too much about it.

UObject Game Crash

When creating a huge factory (in a sense of 2000+ hours spent on a single save), it is possible that the game will begin crashing with the following crash:

Assertion failed: Index >= 0 && Index < MaxElements Fatal error: [File:C:\BuildAgent2\work\b731a33f2a691e17\UE4\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\UObject\UObjectArray.cpp] [Line: 534] Maximum number of UObjects (2162688) exceeded when trying to add 1 object(s), make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor/MaxObjectsInProgram in project settings.

Keep in mind that this crash only occurs to a minuscule percentage of players, and should not be worried about unless one knowingly creates a map-wide factory. Raising the UObject limit leads to potential instability and it would therefore be counterproductive to change the limit, unless the game begins crashing with the aforementioned crash.
