This game is wonderful... so wonderful you may end up building so much that it lags to the point of being unplayable. But these 6 tips will help you keep it under control, plus a few more at the bottom.

If you have a decent GPU and have properly spread your operations, the bulk of your lag will be come from drone logistics. If you're curious to see just how much, just kill the power to your base and watch your frame rate jump.


You could also manipulate your save file a bit to test how much lag drone logistics are causing, or potentially to directly modify your usage of 'supply all' but it unfortunately gets a bit complicated.

Buildings have IDs that you can easily find in your save file, but within them you'll find another ID that refers to another row with extra information about that building, including how it uses drone logistics. So you could delete your extractors directly from the game file, but without removing the associated row that covers drone logistics, you'll still have the resource strain coming from that entry.

Ultimately I feel like the developers need to optimize drone logistics because while you can make things a bit easier on your machine, you ultimately can't scale as high as many of us may want to without hitting severe frame rate issues even on a high end system.
