Odd visual bug when tabbing out and back in to game. Occurs in both fullscreen and windowed mode, as shown below. No idea what is it. If I save and reload the save then it all goes back to normal until I tab out again.

I agree with you : larger maps are where the fun is at ^.^
I have never reached your numbers yet (my maximum was something in the 40+ for colonists, 150+ for pets, on a14, winning some, losing some), but once I get the ball rolling so to speak, I better not to stop, or all hell is bound to break loose.
I also play on Cassandra/Challenging, because I tend to associate Randy with bad things (bad = wasting my time, as in just starting my colony and getting hit with 500 raiders or something). I don't think Randy can be any more harmful/challenging than the other two in the mid/end game, and I don't care about nor want any random "too good" surprises at the beginning. Cassandra is a harsh but consistent mistress, and she suits me well.
Anyway, I'm interested in how you manage your defence system to specifically down raiders for capture, if you didn't mind elaborating some more about that.

Just want to mention I play a certain "Game style" that often goes to late game, with many pawns, many mods, etc and that it always lagged even on the smallest map sizes. I have a decent I7 CPU so it is not like you can get much better hardware for this game. I pretty much play the game 90% of the time on x3 speed because anything else is too slow. On x1 speed it was not laggy, x3 was.
However the Alpha 15c version has removed all visible lag and stuttering for me now, except when constructing a lot of floors at once. Steady 60fps. I literally went from 15b that was stuttering and lagging to a 15c that is like the beginning of the game performance again.
So thanks Tynan, much appreciated. Can you go into any more detail about what the actual fix you made changed and what it was doing before? I'm a programmer so its a bit interesting.

Alpha15c should improve performance quite a bit.

I'm curious, how are you getting 40-80 pawns without mods? The game usually starts to softcap you around 10.
Anyway, the game is not optimized for 40 pawns and certainly not for 80. A better CPU would probably help, but I doubt it would elimintate the issues completely.

It's possible he plays on Randy. Unless things have changed only Cassandra and Phoebe softcaps you at 10 pawns. However, Randy is to the storytellers as Ludeonicrous is for the map sizes, so experimental in some aspects, this being one of them. In short, yes, the game is definitively not really designed with large 40+ pawn colonies in mind.

15c is supposed to have a bunch of CPU optimizations. You'll have to wait for that.

I think I've read somewhere (probably on the Rimworld reddit) that disabling aliasing in your driver options also helps with performance. Can't find the source right now, sorry.
