is there a way for this?

Hello,

as my base grows larger i was thinking is it possible to force the minimap to display more maptiles then the one u spawned on? aka display the whole base if its size exceeds the map?

Giving players access to a larger chunk of the map causes issues for countless reasons. Without a massive fundamental re-write and re balance of countless systems I don't see size of the map chunks being given to clients changing anytime soon.

Would a small loan of $1,000,000 change you mind?

does it always have to be the map AND minimap or can the minimap tiles be loaded away from the map?

no,

the minimap is created client-side from the tiles the server sends in. The client doesn't get minimap tiles as a separate entity.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

That shouldnt be too difficult then.
Then methods for creating it from the map are there,
you just need to have the server handle it, and provide it too the client, the added traffic should not be noticeable either.
Need something? Here is my Shop (Including some useful info for new/returning players at the bottom of the first post)
