Turning off pollution calculations - Megabase performance

Hi there,

I love my megabases and would love to be able to run them as smoothly as possible.

Since you can set the Enemy base frequency to None at the start of a game thus getting rid of biters altogether, would it be possible to also turn off pollution calculations in this case to save on CPU resources since pollution will not affect anything without biters being present?

Thanks in advance,
Krizs

Seems like you can turn off pollution with the update 0.15. But I don't know, if it will affect performance at all.

Oh, thanks for that, I'm pretty sure I read all the FFF's but that probably slipped my mind.

Cheers for the info mate!
