Any ideas on what to do with liquids causing huge amounts of lag? I am not sure if it's the game trying to calculate flow or what but over time my game has been getting really laggy when I am around any large bodies of liquid.

As far as I can tell there really isn't anything you can do, that's just how water works right now. It's calculating a whole bunch of poo poo all at once when you've got a large pool of it.

I actually would like supernorn to post again, because I'm seriously interested in knowing if the recent design approach that has been imo focussed on tedium or "challenge" has ever been questioned inside of the dev team, or if that's just what we can expect from now on?

But I also think it's funny that he decided to pop up now instead of when people had serious discussions about the updates and new things instead of poo poo posting so here we are

E: You know what? I was in a confrontational mood and just jumped on the guy which isn't really fair. I'm sorry for that so pls don't leave again supernorn and chat with us. Hell, you can even shoot me a PM if you really don't want to post itt anymore

I was posting updates and stuff, but yeah. Honestly, it takes like three seconds to type playstarbound.com into your internet browser, but even easier to endlessly post every day for months about a game you're trying to fool people into believing you're not interested in.

This is what I figured, and as a shameless excuse to post pictures, I've been trying to get around it without luck. So here is my ship from awhile ago, filled to the brim with liquids.



Here's the current version, further along, where due to the lag I drained the reactors and the engine, as well as ripping out a lot of the electricity doodads to try and limit the problem. In the process I added a small amount of liquids to the storage tanks.



Result? Even though the amount of liquid itself is much less in the current version, the lag is about the same. The only thing I can think of is that it is not so much calculations within the liquid itself but the surface layer of liquids. Which I don't understand why the first version had such issues since I filled them completely. Unless even when a liquid block has solid blocks around it maybe it still attempts to "flow" into them?

Somewhere there's a joke in this about starbound flowing into a butt.

Liquids are a complete mystery to me, I wouldn't even know where to begin guessing why it lags like it does. We've had a few posters who have messed with liquids in the past that could maybe tell you more, like dog kisser, but they've moved on to greener pastures.

Pet me.
Remember when just finding planets with a medieval castle housed by robots was cool, so you stole everything and drew satisfaction from just that?

Sometimes a game doesn't have to have progression.

Supernorn I have a question for you, is there any likelihood that someone will go through and comment out what all the stuff does? It'd be really nice when people are trying to mod if things were labeled. Or maybe there's already like a wiki or something explaining everything and i'm just too dumb to find it???
