Hello there. I have an huge drop of performances when using a construction with a "large" amount of blocks. After some tests, it appears the game start to slow down around 120 blocks. At 200 blocks, it is unplayable. It happens only in the play mode, not in the counstruction mode. Am I the only one in this case?

This happens to everyone. The game is not really optimized for large structures (i hope this will be fixed in the future). To raise your fps, try slowing the game down a bit (70 - 80%)

Okay, thanks.
I was a little worried, as I saw people building extra large structures!

Yea, this is totally normal. It only happens in "construction" mode because in that mode the physics calculations aren't running. When you hit play, they turn on.
Yea, definitely needs some improvement...or I need a new computer. Either way, anything that's actually big/complex enough to be interesting can only be run at about 20% speed, lol.

Optimisation is probably quite low on their priority list right now. After the rush of releasing the alpha, getting it on Steam, and sorting out all the issues that come up, I think we'll start to see improvements.

Side note: (posted this in the bugs forum) I've discovered that having even a single wheel on your machine tanks the FPS quite a bit. (more noticeable on larger builds)

I've managed to get a peak at the new build of the game, there should be the first new optimization of parts of the game in the next version (The one that will release on steam). Optimization will most likely happen over time and might not be distinctly noticeable between patches, but it is coming.  |
