Set shape is ignored and keeps reverting to square

Somehow the shape keeps reverting to square. My current settings are:

version: 1
language: en
continue-on-restart: false
tasks:
  world:
    cancelled: false
    radius: 13000.0
    x-center: 0.0
    z-center: 0.0
    iterator: concentric
    shape: circle
    count: 1592989
    time: 32960823

And it's generating a square. Here's how it looked in the console:

[03:33:16]: [INFO] [Chunky] Shape changed to circle.
[03:33:21]: [INFO] [Chunky] Center changed to 0, 0.

My bad, I misunderstood how Chunky generates the chunks. I expected that the circle generation paused in half will still be a circle. Closing.

Glad to hear you figured it out before I could reply!

Indeed, if you pause midway into generating it will not have formed the full shape yet. This is because chunky uses a pattern (selectable via command, generally zig-zagging across, or spiraling outward) in which it generates chunks. The shape itself just determines which chunks in the region are generated or not. So for example if you have a circle, using the default pattern will spiral outward in a square shape and then round off as it nears completion as it encounters chunks which are not part of the circle shape you chose.

If this caught you off-guard and you accidentally generated more than you needed to, you can use the trim command to remove the excess.
