Lag? No room for more elements?
-
Before I start I would just like to make it clear that I am not trying to have a go at the devs.
1. Do we really need so much life. We have an enormous amount of life and it's only really ever used for those glider things which can be made using a lot less than the amount we have currently.
2. I don't understand what people are saying about lag. I have that hog of an OS windows with some Centrino 2 thing and it says that I have a core 2 duo@1.4Ghz on the control panel, I have onboard graphics. On top of that I currently have about litterally 15 windows open and still that dueterium reactor thing runs at a steady 15 fps.
Once again I'm not trying to have a go at the devs, I'm just asking why there is such a thing about lag with more elements than we already have. -
the more lements that get put on tpt, the more lag it creates. this game used to run at 21fps constantly for me when a creation was up and running. now im lucky to get 15 with one of my creations.
i do admit that there is a lot of life (maybe even too much of it) but there sre other uses besides gliders, for instance, lasers, cooling, ect. -
i actually think the lag from more elements is a layman term. so i think there is a bigger reason it will create lag and it is all like programing and stuff so we wont understand it

thats why i put it in laymans term. lol. the reason we have lag is because the server that powder is filling up. the more code that is put on that server, the more lag. all that has to be done is get more server space. which is not that easy. -

the space on the server is really small compared to some server's i have seen, and i think there might also be another reason -
@vanquish349 what reason is that?

i dont know just wait for a mod/dev/simon to post this thread
edit: speaking to severall mods and a dev they say that it proberbly wont slow down the game much -

Then why have they locked the elements suggestions thread and said that there are going to be no more new elements added any time soon -

Because we're currently concentrating on other things, like gravity and the decoration layer.
We can't do everything at once, and Powder Toy already has lots of useful elements.
