Hey, please find attached my save file that runs at 20 fps when I am accelerating the time to 8x. It was capped at 140 fps before.

What I recently changed in my gameplay :

New ship with a lot more storage
I've added new crews : I've hit the 200+ cap
I've discovered the functionnality that make me choose what ressources I want to harvest and used it to lets the ammo on the ground

Some suggestion maybe :

If the lag comes from ammunition on the ground :
- Add a button that can be press to "clean" all the ressources on the ground (a bit cheaty maybe but could help)
- Add a decay on the ressources so that they dispawn naturally
- Add a new factory that allow us to salvage the ammo so we do not exclude them from our gathering of ressources
if the lag comes from the crew :
- Good luck, I have no suggestion xD

It's kinda make the game difficult to enjoy at this point, otherwise its a great game, thanks for the development !
Please share any tips so I can get back my fps, I will do some creative while waiting 🙂

Haven't looked at the save yet, but presumably lowering the game speed should help a lot.

Indeed, going into x1 does make the fps back to 140fps. I enjoy the 8x a lot though 🙂
Do you have any guess on what would be the issue and if I can make something about it otherwise ? ("clean" all the galaxy/change the galaxy that have an issue, create smaller ship, etc. ?)
Thanks again for your work !

complains X8 goes to 20 fps when what is it.... 140 / 8 = 17.5 sounds correct to me... simple math playing a game 8 times the speed expect it to run at 1 8th the framerate

I suspect a lot of junk ships and/or flying crew, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Having multiple ships spread out also impacts performance a lot because the game has to load and simulate more stuff near your ships.

That might explain why my 4-player game is soooo sluggish for me. My framerate is around 12-20 in the regular even at 4x speed while hosting.

I have experienced this same issue, and I am running on a 6700XT, maybe not the best and the brightest, but still a good GPU and I couldn't get above 13 fps when harvesting ship material at 8x. 8x is really important because otherwise this type of thing can take ages.

I wonder if mining asteroid belts (therefore causing smaller asteroid rocks to just exist in space, even after cleaning up the usable ores) also adds to this..

All the rigs of my players are decent specs (Ryzen 7, 1700x or better, all of us with RX580 or better, 16gb ram or more, etc). they get like 30+ FPS while I get like 12 hah.

I find that it is fine so long as you aren't trying to mine too large an area, once the area you are trying to mine reaches a certain threshold preformance gets axed
