Generating MBTILE with info over 17z about tilemaker HOT 4 CLOSED

It's very unusual to generate vector tiles at z17. Vector tiles don't work like raster tiles. Rather, the idea is that your z14 (or maybe z15) tiles have everything that is needed for higher zooms, and you just select what to show in the stylesheet.

See https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker/blob/master/docs/VECTOR_TILES.md#the-format

My intention is generating a mbtile for the whole planet with information over 17z zoom.

If that really is what you want to do then I suspect tilemaker isn't the tool for you, I'm afraid.

Hi @systemed ,

First of all, thanks for you quick answer. I made a comparison amoung mbtile generated with other tool we were using before, and for my suprise, 14z is totally enough. I don't need more than this.

But now I've been trying to generated a whole planet mbtile, but my build crashes in the middle, with no error message. I'm still using 20GB for this built. Do you have any tip to create the mbtile that large?

Specifically, I believe it is not possible to pre-generate z16 and z17 in a practical manner.

I opened another issue to specifically address the planet's mobile generation, as they are different problems..
