Hmm... MANTIS formatted something a little weird the "0000085:0000370 MB" is supposed to be ~ 370 MB

I fixed the formatting issue.

How big is your map? The default is 4x4, the maximum is 16x16.

The embark size is a 4x5. It's my normal size which is normally well behaved (like the one I'm using on the world generated after this one). I just checked and it will still crash on a 4X4 embark in that same location.

From some random testing it seems like this has something to do with the number of biomes the embark location has. If the embark location has 1 or 2 biomes in it then it will probably run fine with a normal memory footprint. If the embark location has 3 or 4 biomes it will probably crash like originally reported or freeze at 100% of a cpu core after showing the the welcome screen with a larger than normal memory footprint. The original location I embarked at had 3 biomes. The other factor that may have come into play is that the setup used to generate this world used weighted meshes and the default configurations don't.

Save has 0005077-style feature corruption. If there's still an issue with the number of biomes, please reopen this or PM me on the forums.
