Archimede's Ship Error

[Demonic]

Everytime I try to compile my ship which is above the 2048 block limit i get this error
java.lang.StackOverflowError
I edited the configuration files to allow larger ships but it still keeps saying "Error Compiling ship, see console" which shows this message: java.lang.StackOverflowError

I think you answered your own question.

I realize that making the ship smaller would work, but if so then why bother adding in the ability to change the size? Is there a work-around to the java error?

It's configurable up to a point. But once you go beyond a point, java itself can't handle it. You can try increasing permgen to 512 and RAM by a gig, thus giving java more breathing room, but other than that you can't do anything. Besides rewriting the whole mod of course.

Assuming (assuming!) you have changed the maximum to something attainable, you might be able to work around the stack overflow by increasing java's stack allocation.
