#Prioritize / Improve FPS & Game Processor performance

Current complex builds destroys FPS and input commands. This results in heavy lag, low FPS, reduced input command fidelity and less enjoyment.
Several worlds are available that highlights a large but normal world with terrible performance.
It appears that the main bottleneck is the processor core, not any other PC hardware or setup.

Understandably this might get pushed till later while content is being worked on, but large and complex builds are a common occurrence to active users. Discouraging them from playing is a low FPS and 'laggy' controls.
Prioritizing this would support the community and engagement while ensuring this game is possible at the final scale being worked on by the updates.

Complex builds? Hell, I basically stopped playing because blast furnaces kill my FPS. Even if just cheated into place on an empty map.

tbh i haven't played in a few weeks simply due to fps issues. Any idea i have lately i think about but don't try out due to the issue with several of my worlds. With some of the mods (voidchest/creativechests) it helps but you can't really do much with modular builds in creative mode without building a full factory infrastructure, which again starts to hurt my fps fairly easily.
I don't really want to run a normal world anymore just because i know eventually I'll have to stop and whats the point.
An infinite world should be fine handling future addons/updates since you could just idle the old factory and move elsewhere, but with the FPS/input lag hit you can't do that.
imo not working on this will hurt community engagement and participation pretty hard.

I wonder if anyone has FPS tips?

Also I wonder what is possible. I'm starting to lag at only 200 Service Robot/day.

Closest fps tip currently is to do large distributed setups. Ship in / ship out setups. Don't consolidate all your production in one area. Space should be in the 2 tiles apart type of range or more.

I saw 1 guideish video on youtube back then, when a guy showcase step by step how did he improve his own game FPS issue by a lot. He did combine a lot of different technique to achieve this boost. Im going to try to find the video again and maybe post it in here. Maybe it have some good idea for devs they can use.

I just got info how to turn on FPS in game, and im rocking on 20 FS with my half build base when 90%+ of my machine not even running. If i face a wall and currently standing 0 centimeter from the wall i still have 20 FPS. Seems like what im actually seeing on screen DOES NOT effect my FPS at all. o,O
