realdead_man Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 System 4790 I7 8 gigs ram* upgrading to 16+ soon 7770ATI *1080 ti coming Tuesday Samsung 850evo <---Windows and this game installed only -------------------------------------------------- Game is sluggish after about 40 duplicates, micromanagement gets very difficult.....like they are not following priorities correctly. Even after completely quitting and restarting the game. Yet it seems others are not having this problem?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donutman07 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Stick with smaller colonies. More dupes slows it down. I usually play with 6-18 Reduce multiple paths to the same end point. Pathing takes a lot of processing in this game, which is compounded by having 40 dupes. Keep a clean base. Put stuff away in storage. Preferably one type of item per storage. If you don't need it anymore, lock it away too. Clean up excess liquids. Restrain the animals with a pneumatic door. Lock up areas you don't need to access anymore. (Simplify pathing) If you're intent on having a large base with lots of dupes, consider splitting your base in half. Don't let the dupes go from one base to the other, except maybe one or two. Two smaller bases will be easier on pathing and job selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Could you post your save, I am interested to see if I can find whats causes the problem in your base. I am not sure how it works now days with 40 dupes. I usually only run with 10-16 dupes because earlier it did causes to much lag for me to play with 30-40 dupes.

RemyG Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Runs just fine with 8 dupes up to cycle 7000 before the game has trouble processing cycle times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realdead_man Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Saves are a very personal and private thing, I provide mine as long as you agree that/to: 1. My first REAL colony 2. I screwed up oxygen, everyone is gasping 3. Don't laugh at me. lol https://www.dropbox.com/s/u244mqv49y4usfh/posted to the board.sav?dl=0 The game is not lagging in the traditional sense, it is just that the pawns are not responding like they were cycle 1. Hard to explain (Also at cycle 1, I cheated and gave myself 20 tons of candy bars, cause I have yet to mess with farming. Have to learn air supply first!!!)

NanoD Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yeah I see they have still have the "dupe" lag. When I did 100 dupe base I hade extrem lag of it. If I did run it on full speed then in the morning it would take 10 secs for the dupes to start doing anything. And some other stuff like forgetting to breath. At slower speed you will not get that stuff. But then you have to run it slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realdead_man Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think it was all the vomit, plus continuous vomit while trying to clean, that causes most the trouble. My next base has much better OX management, and not seeing any trouble so far (30ish dups ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Don't be defeated by greed Too many dups will exhaust your resources(oxygen, water, ect), so control your population unless you feel survival is too easy and want to challenge yourself.
