Hi All I own a small peice of land I picked up to do a very small project, The Land 96m which says it can hold 21 items, but what are the prim limits on such a small piece ? Can someone tell me how to figure out the prim limits on different properties please, I looked everywhere on forums.. Any Help would be most welcome

Those items are the prim limit, thus = 21.

That 21 is the prim limit for your land. Small, I know. :(

Edit: Bleh, people reply too fast around here!

And because I'm a geek...

You can calculate the prim limit for most parcels of land from the following formula:

CODE
prims = land_area / 65536 * 15000


The magic numbers in the above formula are 65536 (the area of a sim in square meters), and 15000 (the total prims allowed in a single sim).

Note that "city sims" allow double the prim density, which yields the following formula:

CODE
prims = land_area / 65536 * 30000

Prim limit? What is that? When you get tired, or can't rezz the 15,001th one?

Heheh.

And just to be even geekier note you round the number down not up. So 16 meters is good for 3 prims.

In his town hall, Philip noted that the prim limits will increase over time due to better coding.

from the transcript:
(Question): will the amount of prims allowed on a peice of land ever increase?
Philip Linden: Yes, it will.
Philip Linden: As we speed up the code or get faster hardware we increase it.
Philip Linden: It used to be 10,000 now it is 15,000.
Philip Linden: I don't have a target date or anything.
Philip Linden: first priority is making the overall system faster with the prims we have.
Philip Linden: BTW we are doing some incredibly work in labs on that. Hang in there.
