[2.0.69] Massive UPS drop with Tesla Turrets on Gleba
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2025 12:39 pm
What did you do?
After surrendering my Artillery in favour of allowing the Pentapods to exist and slurp up the Spores before they bloat the filesize too high I set up a perimeter wall of Tesla Turrets for my Gleba Base.
What happened?
Whenever the Pentapods attack, there is an enormous UPS drop. It is not usually noticable when running at 60UPS, but when running at higher UPS it is extremely appparent as the base can drop from 400+UPS down to below 60 UPS.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
The game appears to be made to run fine at 60 UPS but such a massive dip from small attack waves seems odd to me.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
This has happened constantly after setting up my Tesla wall.
It is worth noting that I am running on Deathworld Settings edited to make Gleba's enemies and bases sliders 200%. I have also added a speed upp mod to demonstrate the UPS impact.
Attached is a save demonstrating this. Pan to the West of the base where there are many attacks and observe the UPS drops when running at ~10x speed.
