Better Optimization/Further Render

[main tide]

My ideas for this is simple, use low poly for deployables, barrels, and ore from far away like it is for trees. Force the distance smaller if fps goes down alot due to big bases. Increase render distance for barrels especially in the ocean since there isn't much to render there.

good idea, wooden high walls dont have the same render that foundation and walls do

I had a stroke reading this

I get some of the rendering stuff

But… what..?

[main tide]

read it again bro

might take the slightest technical literacy

I think using lod's and culling of land would do alot of good for performance and render distance since there would be less to load in at once and everything thats loaded in further would lose quality to again save on performance while also improving the looks

99.9999999999% sure they already do allat

apparently performance will be better with terrain update so maybe they improved it there

this guy knows what he's talking about cause I recognize is culling

they do culling in a bad way

way too short distance on somethings and is the same distance no matter how much is loaded

it should change with your performance and things loaded

The LOD levels on quest actually switch at really close ranges and we do a LOT more to make custom LODs that are more efficient than what most games would use. Not sure what you mean about doing culling "in a bad way", could you explain what it's doing now that you have a better solution for?

[main tide]

The culling currently is at a set range, it isn't exactly bad but I wouldn't say it's good. For example when boating in the ocean there is minimal lag so it would be good if the range increases so that you can see further. Also it would be good if when near big bases there is an option in settings that causes the culling range to shrink so that it doesn't tank your fps.

I'm not sure you're really understanding how it works

Isnt there already culling for stuff behind mountains or outside the players view?

[main tide]

there is culling currently
