ETRD lags the game
-
Approve. Plasma arc generated by large ETRD pieces lags the game. Ubuntu Lucid on Intel.

probably is the reason he said use sparingly, just sayin'
-
Sparingly? Well, I doubt it would create an arc with itself. I'll see.
Hm. It does. Yet it needs a curve to assemble a connection. However, it still slows the game a lot, and it seems it can short circuit itself on distances too big and in quantities too many. -
Read the description, it says "Electrode. Creates a surface that allows Plasma arcs. (Use sparingly)". When I say sparingly, I mean literally 1 pixel of it per electrode, not entire blocks.
What slows the game down is the code that searches for the nearest electrode, it has to iterate through every particle. -
Woohoo! =) Indeed, one must turn the mind on when playing with The Powder Toy. Possibly it must be written like "<...> Use only single pixels of it to avoid lags"?
