The original post and some of the responses discussed base complexity and if one scrolls down billions and billions of threads there was an updated Base Building Table posted that might help with avoiding those problems. There also are instructions elsewhere about editing the base building limit but some have reported problems not only with errors when editing of the file but also occasionally with the impact of having raised the limit.
NOTE: Popular misbelief incorrectly credits the phrase “billions and billions” to Carl Sagan but the term is credited to Johnny “Carl Sagan” Carson in this skit albeit one with poor quality video: Billions and Billions. I particularly like the visual aid showing the actual location of Australia about 4 minutes in not to mention the effective use of the telescope at the end.
