Starmade | collision detection in docked entity pilot mode has performance issues
Closed, FinishedPublic

Description

I'm getting a major drop in fps when in pilot mode on a docked entity, vs pilot mode on the mother entity. The view from both is only a few blocks difference.

Steps to reproduce
  1. spawn the included blueprint from description
  2. enter the main entity in pilot mode and notice the fps
  3. press up arrow to get into the downstream entities and notice the fps drop difference while in pilot mode
  4. go into build mode ( or F11 view) in those same downstream entities and notice higher fps vs pilot mode, make sure to position camera as close to pilot view as possible

Noticed the same thing with my big shipyard. although a bit less severe than yours.
Not sure how "fixable" this is, it's just collision detection that brings your performance down.

This only happens when you're in ship mode, so maybe this doesn't need to happen in *docked pilot mode*. Even if it was moving around on a rail, pilot mode has no effect on it. Maybe it's doing collision detection as if the ship was undocked?

The example blueprint has huge docked shapes slide inside each other which would wreck havoc when undocked, and you're noticing the same thing when sitting in pilot mode in a docked entity.

-Validated- & -Confirmed-

Noticed the same thing with my big shipyard. although a bit less severe than yours.
Not sure how "fixable" this is, it's just collision detection that brings your performance down.

This only happens when you're in ship mode, so maybe this doesn't need to happen in *docked pilot mode*. Even if it was moving around on a rail, pilot mode has no effect on it. Maybe it's doing collision detection as if the ship was undocked?

The example blueprint has huge docked shapes slide inside each other which would wreck havoc when undocked, and you're noticing the same thing when sitting in pilot mode in a docked entity.

-QA Testing-

Fix confirmed. The drop is still there but instead of going to single digits, I still had 30 fps.
This is a giant improvement and it's good enough to close this task.
I'm sure there are more extreme examples out there that are worse though.
