Debris removal and faction points

[trim condor]

So while fighting the late game lag i had a idea for debris removal and i thought i'd share, add a station in each system that will exchange debris, i.e. any resourse for faction points. the points could be at a horrible rate it really would not matter as long as in the long run it did its job. get rid of the debris that early mid game through late game generates there by cutting down on the lag the player gets because of it and they recieve something in return for being a maid and a savior. example would be 10000 steel plates for 10 faction points. honestly i really would not care if it were 1 for 100000 steel.

I don't think going around doing the floor cleaning robot is really fun gameplay wise. I'd think more of an options on station where you ask "Do you want to clean the debris of the system?" Then it starts a vote between the players. If everyone's agree, then lore wise, the station ask the NPC ships to clean the system. Gameplay wise, all the debris are cleaned, but a quarter of the debris are converted in resources, then divided and distributed in each station.

that would work too. i mean i have lost several game due to non playablity because of lag. and through testing it is debris that is the main cause. so any option would be nice.

was simply saying that could be a option because there are people out there that are detail and manufacturing oriented enough that a mechanic like that would be feasible, while having the option to clean up instantly for those that are solely combat focused....

If the sun can also burn resource nuggets, I will push every single ship debris in it. I built a big U shape solar miner and can push 3-4 asteroids out each run. So gathering the debris and send them in the sun is quite easy for me at least.

[trim condor]

ryzen 3900 x 12 core 24 thread 16 gig of ram and a 8 gb graphic card and debris make the game stutter

[north oar]

check my link too my bug report its worse than your issue 5 hr of gameplay and the drops are still their

i feel your pain 😦

[trim condor]

working a theroy to save a mp game, doing mass salvaging and storage to attempt to save fps. also mass storage is shooting ammo of all type acosistantly to delete it as well. so far.5 fps up. but will report back when i have completed a couple syaytems for over veiw

[north oar]

get this mod so any ammo wont drop from killing ships you can still eject ammo from yours

[trim condor]

that would help some i believe however late game you end up with hundreds of thousands of just steel as well as every other resources. so in the end just prolonging the inevitable. try to figure out a way to end the clutter and making the game playable late game

[north oar]

im trying the same thing thats all i got tho for ammo

i just eat all the other drops just not ammo

[trim condor]

if this theroy works as it looks like it will i'll share more details

[north oar]

it fixes my ammo issues cause I didn't pick up the dropped ammo

[trim condor]

we may end up having to have a store all station in each system so that all the pieces arent free floating. but like i said earlier i am about 2 hour in and have seen some improvement. still have 10+ systems to go

[north oar]

i have this to pick up all the drops and that mod to stop ammo drops

[trim condor]

nice, although what do you do when its full? make another?

[north oar]

idk it can hold 500000

at least its a solution for lag

until the game changes drop despawn timer or a diff way to clear all drops

[trim condor]

thats enough space for the system i am currently in.......

another way of breaking that down is, late game ships are anywhere from 50000 to 100000 ish a piece and i have in this system roughly 25-30 spots to clean, with ammo it goes up even more

[north oar]

oh god thats worse than my issue

yeah get the no ammo drops mod so no more spawn

youll just have to do what i did and eat all the drops bit by bit

[trim condor]

its a pain but i really love this game so its experiment time. if this works i'll start this from begginer system and keep going as i progress.

oh i have multiple late games i cant play because of lag.

so i have ate it.... lol, now to fix it

[woven oasis]

that's why I want the sun to burn those resource nuggets, so you can eject them and make them disappear

[trim condor]

would be nice to send it to the sun!!!! i would be happy to lose crew if i could send it away....... lol

[woven oasis]

or just make a suicide ship with 1 crew and send it to the sun

[trim condor]

thats righ or even load a ship and tractor it into the sun area

[woven oasis]

that will do
