ups with natives : 1.1
ups without natives: 23.6
Couldn't find a way to remove biters without killing them, so used the command from the wiki.

As for arti - for me the whole point of playing past the first rocket is to get arti range up. The next step is 1G though, which will take forever.

It's still going slow. In the last 11½ hours the ingame time has progressed slightly less than 10 minutes. It's a new record for me. It takes about 70 seconds per ingame second now. And this is after I've removed most of my buffers and reduced the number of bots to 900 logi and 8000 construction.

Artillery Range increase can indeed lead to a lot of slowdown. Its not due to the artillery itself, but due to it shooting at (and angering) hordes of biters that want to have a frank discussion about your wonton destruction of their homes.

IMO its one tech that should not be unlimited, but ...

Just a quick update. The super slowdowns happen when the arti range is upgraded. I'm at over 650K path finding numbers at the moment and the movement animation for the spidertron takes just under a second per frame. Not sure if the arti aiming or the creep reacting is the issue, but I suspect it'll ...

Unused bots don't do anything that takes up CPU. But when assigning new tasks to bots the game needs to figure out which bot is the best suited. The larger the amount of bots the more CPU is used up trying to pick a bot for each task.

The optimal case is when there are no unused bots ever. The ...

I've now reduced the number of robots to about 200k total. Will try to get it below 50k over time.
I've also removed the solar farms now I was at it. They weren't effective anymore anyway. I'm down to 4 seconds per ingame second - from 22 seconds per ingame second.

Edit: I've also disabled most of ...

There's nothing in game I can change to fix it?

It depends on how you build your base. There are certain things you can avoid doing at that scale. For example so many bots will of course slow things down. Especially when they are all in one network


I've spent a 2 hour teams call picking up ...

So basically you're saying cpu or ram just isn't fast enough?
There's nothing in game I can change to fix it?

ps. a supercomputer wouldn't fix it. 1) that wouldn't run windows and 2) a super compuer is basically a cluster of smaller systems - which means even more cpu cores at slower speeds.

As ...

Hi. I've got a game going that's been slowing down for a while - but after the last artillery upgrade it's almost stopped completely. The timing updates tell me that it's spending sometimes over 300.000 on path finder (means less than 1 fps) and around 90-110.000 on entity updates. But I can't see ...
