Lifegrow Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 As the title suggests (and at @Cheerio's recent request) I decided to attach the save file of my current stream base, which - much to my dismay - is becoming increasingly unplayable, even at lower speeds. I've also run a few tests of my own following on from this recent thread : Having explored most of the asteroid, and discovered all of the resources we'll need, I figured that before I have to prematurely end yet another stream playthrough entirely due to laggy low-fps play - I'd try and "fix" it with a few of the usual tips/tricks that are often recommended. I'm not a fan of mixing debug and stream play, and normally only resort to debug fixes if we have something like a ruin spawned on top of a geyser (yes, that happened) - so this is solely for science purposes My system : CPU :Ryzen 5 1600x @ stock MB : Gigabyte AMD AM4 Ryzen AB350 Ram : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2x8GB 3000MHz DDR4 GFX : HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 (not the best I know, but ample enough to run pretty much anything on the market...) Basic Save - Automalarkey.sav Currently running at between 7-9 fps on my system when running no other programs/apps. Ignore the part-built chimney on the right, was in the midst of a plan to cook some oil... Step 1 - Remove all debris from the floor. Lag test Swept.sav Swept every bit of loose debris on the asteroid (including unrevealed/inaccessible) - Increase to 16-17 fps Step 2 - Vacuum storage (compactor areas). Lag test Vacuum storage.sav Removed chlorine and made storage a vacuum - No change. 16-17fps Step 3 - Mop Loose Liquids Lag test Mop Loose Liquids.sav Mopped all external loose liquids on the map. Slight change 18-19 fps Step 4 - Restrict Areas Lag Test Airlock Denial.sav Fitted various airlocks - confining dupes to the immediate base. Slight change 19-20 fps Step 5 - Lose my mind, mop all the liquids and fill the entire external map with Abyssalite, confine all my dupes inside the base, clear all the debris, vacuum my storages and essentially entomb my dupes inside a grisly man-made void. Lag Test ffs.sav Spoiler Slight change. 20-21fps. Kindly make of this what you will. In short the most noticeable difference was obviously the clearing of debris - however I don't run messy bases, so this was mostly debris from plants/pufts/tile destruction in unreachable/inaccessible areas. Loose liquids we've always known to be a slight drain on resources, however I was convinced I'd see a larger boost in fps from that - this was the biggest surprise for me. The only test I had yet to do was remove all external gasses and make things into vacuums. Step 6 - Vacuum it all Lag Test - Gone (Mind Included).sav Spoiler Slight change..... 22-24fps. FML. In short - I hope this proved helpful/insightful for both Klei devs, and fellow players. If you have any further insights or tests that you think may improve fps, kindly share them after having tested them yourself. Sadly my base can't handle any more of this.... Much love. -Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't considered that - although clearing debris was one of the biggest boosts in FPS, so i'm honestly not sure what would happen if I destroyed my compactors and just left everything on the floor (like the old drop pits we used to make). 10 hours ago, Botaxalim said: This is one reason i stop play oni, and play other game I love oni, but the basic problem is frustating I think it's the same for a lot of people - I regularly speak to players who havn't played the game for months because they're patiently waiting for the laggy play to be fixed. They turn up in chat, ask if it's been optimised properly yet, then leave again for another month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fun to build a fresh base, but when i come to the point to install all that blingbling, then performance eats fun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilya Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I achieved to drop below 1 FPS at some point. But sometimes, I don't know why, I can reach 5 FPS and it's wonderful. I need to hit pause or super slow mode to be able to give any order. Some funny thing, is that I have experienced the spontaneous generation of duplicants. The portal is deactivated for ages, but 3 more of them have appeared in my colony. I don't know which duplicant arrived or have been born. So they are 65 now.

Lifegrow Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 As a little update, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that last night, at approximately 1am - this Colony, who shall forever be remembered as "Automalarkey Lag FFS!" passed away silently in their sleep. It happened somewhere between cycle 500-505, and we're assured that the duplicants felt nothing. There will be a service held next Wednesday at 3pm, where loved ones are encouraged to come along and feed the now homeless hatches, and if at all possible adopt a slickster or 3. RIP Automalarkey. You will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
