TTL-based message routing (max 7 hops)

There’s a limit on hops, so yeah, there’s a limit on communication. But since it works offline, messages still get delivered once you're back in range. Still don’t get why there’s a hops limit though.

Same reason why any network has a hop limit:

In computer networking, TTL (Time to live) prevents a data packet from circulating indefinitely.

Yeah, that makes sense, kinda guessed it was something like that.
