Add timestamp of map generation

[lightonflux]

Could you add a time stamp to the map. Then players / builders can see why their building is not (yet) shown on the map.

Hi @lightonflux . Thank you for the suggestion. Eventually this would be useful. However, since I'm currently not generating the map at all due to some hardware limitations, I've just updated the page on the site. I'll leave this issue open for whenever these scripts get used again.

What is the problem? Too much IO or CPU usage? You could start the mapping process with a very low nice value, so it will only be executed when no other process needs the resources.

Too much memory and too much disk space usage.

You could download the map and do the map generation on another machine. :D

I did that for a while. But there's still another problem.
