Check Box for Robot shadows On-Off

[Tozar]

I was looking at my factory this morning and my current FPS/UPS with my 40,000 robots (and growing) flying around and I thought, I wonder how that would improve if I was able to turn off the robot shadows in the settings menu along with the smoke, inserter's and so forth. Is just a suggestion, but that's ALOT of shadows it wouldn't have to process.

I doubt the game renders all 40,000 robots. I'd be shocked and amazed if factorio didn't utilize occlusion on them. I think it's probably unlikely that the shadows are causing a substantial issue and if they are it should be correctable through other means. It's probably more likely that the calculations for 40,000 robots worth of movement, pickup, delivery, etc... is causing an issue.
