Starmade | Delays are too slow
Closed, RejectedPublic

Description

Delay blocks should have a delay of 0.5 s, but in fact it's about 11% more. This makes logic-controlled weapons a bit inefficient. This was tested in single player with 120 fps, so the numbers should be pretty accurate.

Steps to reproduce
  • Build clock with delay and NOT gate
  • Start clock and a stopwatch at the same time
  • Count 50 or more clock cycles, then stop the time (more cycles = higher precision)
  • Divide measured time in seconds by number of clock cycles, result should be ~1.11

Alternatively, use a series of 50+ chained delays.

Server updates aren't as frequent. They're 30ms each so the 500ms delay isn't entirely accurate resulting in this. Not a bug

Shouldn't the delay then be 510ms (17*30ms) instead of 555ms (18.5*30ms)?
