| A Chunk refers to either an area of the map 32x32 [[Tile]]s in size (containing 1024 tiles in total) ''or'' a distance of 32 [[Tile]]s.

| Chunks are used for:
| |
| * Map generation. When the player runs around and reveals the map or the radar explores the map, it is revealed in chunks.
| |
| * Chunks are "switched off" to save CPU cycles. If nothing important happens in a chunk (e.g. there are only fishes swimming around in the chunk) the chunk is not computed in the next [[Tick]].
| |
| * The [[pollution]] model is based on chunks, and pollution spreads to neighboring chunks.
