Version 0.1.334
Compiled Jan 26 2014
Summary -
Getting lower performance and seeing stuttering after creating a new stockpile restricted to Rock Debris and setting the piles priority to 'Preferred' or better. Removing the pile or lowering the priority removes the issues.
- Stuttering can most easily be seen at medium or high speed.
- The stockpile covers a main base entrance and so must be frequently pathed through.
- This is a large map
Steps to Reproduce -
1. Start with a single entrance base.
2. Create a Dumping stockpile that covers the entire entrance to the base.
3. Edit the stockpile setting and change the materials to only accept rock debris.
4. Edit the stockpile setting and change the Priority drop-down to ‘Important’.
5. Exit the stockpile and increase the game speed to observe framerate stuttering.
Expected Results -
Game performance (framerate and responsiveness) continues as normal.
Actual Results -
Game performance drops.
Notes -
I understand that large maps come with performance issues, but performance on my PC has been reasonable otherwise even with the large maps and many hours of gameplay. The performance issue may cause an issue on smaller maps using a lower end PC.
