 Using More Cores
 ----------------
 The Overviewer will render each chunk separately in parallel. You can tell it
 how many processes to start with the -p option. This is set to a default of 2,
 which will use 2 processes to render chunks, and 1 to render the final image.
 
+To bump that up to 3 processes, use a command in this form:

     python renderer.py -p 3 <Path to World> <image out.png>
 
 Bugs
 ====
 * This program is memory intensive. Obviously if you have a 20000x10000 pixel
   image, it's going to take up quite a bit of room. This program may not work
-  if you have a gigantic world. I am working on a solution to this, possibly
-  splitting up the final image so it's not as big. Even if the image is
-  successfully generated, my image viewer has quite some trouble showing it.
+  if you have a gigantic world. The program may crash, or even if the image is
+  successfully generated, your image viewer may crash or refuse to display it.
+  I am working on a solution to this involving a google maps like interface
+  where the world is split up into tiles.
 
 * Some types of block are not rendered correctly yet. This includes torches,
-  mushrooms, flowers, and anything that is not a traditional "block". They are
-  still rendered, but look funny.

 * Water transparency is not working yet. I'm trying to come up with a good
   solution, but I think it has to do with the image blending algorithm in the
