General FPS drop when viewing the platform

[francoisb]

Hi all! Started my 1st playthrough of 2.0 + SpaceAge a couple days ago. When I use Tab to open the remove view and view the platform, even when the platform is idle and in orbit around Nauvis, FPS drops to 45 (from 60), but UPS stays at 60. I'm pretty sure I'll need to upgrade my iMac for that to change.

What I'm playing on:

iMac 27 inc, 2017
4.2 GhZ i7 4 cores
Radeos Pro 580 8 GiB
32 GiB RAM
Ventura 13.6.9

I just realized 2017 to 2024 is 7 years. I got good life out of this device. I would be sad to put it away. The screen is amazing at 5120x2880 resolution. I'm playing Factorio in full screen, at the screen's native resolution.

After writing the above, I realized that I should at least check if there is a setting that will help me. Turns out that disabling "Space dust" was all I needed to get back to 60 FPS.

I can probably keep my machine for a few more years now!
