Starmade | Performance issue: laggy planets
Not feasible, NormalPublic

Description

I noticed something: planets cause quite a bit of lag. I had a higher FPS rate in the spawn, with a few stations, an Advanced Shop, and several ships then I did with one ship about a sector or two away from a planet. Yes; being in the same sector as several entities has better performance than being in a sector with one entity in it (you in a ship) while being near a planet, but not in its sector - 1 or 2 away from it.

Steps to reproduce
  • Make a new world. Ensure Max Stations is more than 1.
  • Spawn in and build a few stations (maybe 2-4 of them; they don’t have to be a full build - just a room is OK, and even that isn’t super necessary)
  • Spawn and build about 10 ships (again, no need for a full-blown, 45-minute ship; basics are okay)
  • Observe the performance and check the FPS
  • Admin Warp a sector or two away from a planet
  • Notice performance drops
  • Go to the planet. Even with a small ship that causes no size lag, the game slows down considerably.
