#REDIRECT[[Map_structure#Chunk]]
A Chunk is a [[units|unit]] defined as 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.
 
==See also==
* [[Tile]], the next smaller unit.
* [[Region]], the next larger unit.
