It was mentioned that particles won't spawn when not viewed by the player for performance reasons. Rocket turrets spawn trivial smoke and gun turrets spawn shell particles when not viewed by the player. Bug or working as intended?

Thanks

In multiplayer the server configuration gui can be opened with /config command. In this gui there is a drop-down box "Allow Lua commands". This setting doesn't do anything. If you change it from "no to "yes" you still can't run lua commands.

It sounds like you already reduced max-map-preview-threads? Try reducing max-map-preview-chunk-side

Seems like it does update.

Can you provide the save file?

There is a mod called Story Missions you might like.

It's normal. Pollution is not zero but it's very low. The efficiency modules you are using are very good at keeping pollution low. I re-uploaded your save with a few pollution settings tweaked which will cause more biter attacks.

Can you provide the save?

I was able to reproduce the error. I think if you leave the mod settings default you won't get this error. I left a post on the mod page.

attached save should be fixed

The same filter configuration as LuaSegmentedUnitDiedEventFilter would be sufficient.

Please close. It appears to have been moved to a separate debug option called show-multiplayer-ups.

Show time usage multiplayer ups mentioned below is missing.

It would be nice if particles that exist solely to increase graphical fidelity be moved out of game state.

Create a new scenario on the server instead of modifying data/base/script/freeplay/

You can copy control.lua and freeplay.lua from data/base/script/freeplay/

scenarios/my-scenario/info.json
scenarios/my-scenario/description.json
scenarios/my-scenario/control.lua
scenarios/my-scenario/freeplay.lua ...

No, but I figured a good way to get the extremely hard deathworld scenario that I wanted is to make my own.

I was going to recommend to use event on_unit_group_finished_gathering to issue commands to the group that form from surface.pollute but it doesn't seem to work consistently? Sometimes it works other times the attack group gathers up and forms from the pollution but when it's finished gathering it ...

Thank you very much. The performance difference is huge.
