-Chunks are used for
-* map generation. When the player runs around, he reveals the map, or the radar explores this is done in junks, because memory needs to be allocated, map needs to be calculated etc.
-* chunks are "switched off", to spare CPU. If nothing (important) happens in a chunk (only fishes swimming around and other rules like that) the chunk is not computed for the next [[Tick]].
-* pollution. The pollution-model is based on chunks, the pollution spreads to the neighbors.
