7 years ago Thank you for the bug report!
I'm still seeing 59.9 UPS on my test map, which is about all I ever see on my laptop.
The only thing that I do that might cause UPS slowdown is a once-a-second poll for tanks using the standard APIs:
script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},
function (e)
-- Check once per second.
if e.tick % 60 == 0 then
tanks = game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{type = "car", name = "nuclear-vehicle-tank"}
for index,tank in pairs(tanks) do
update_steam_turbines(tank)
end
end
end
)If this is causing massive UPS drop with no tanks built, then I have no idea what the problem could be. Maybe on_tick is completely useless under all circumstances? Maybe find_entities_filtered is so expensive I can't even call it once per second?
Except plenty of other mods do stuff like this. I mean, I would be disappointed if this cost a few UPS on a truly huge map with a zillion entities, but I wouldn't be totally surprised. But I just can't see how this could cause "massive slowdown" with no tanks built. I'm really not doing anything too special or unusual that I'm aware of.
Do you have any other mods loaded that do funky things with vehicles?

Barely install, didn't even build one nor do research. Yet this mod causing massive slowdown.
I have decent PC, , capable of handling megabase at 60 fps, yet this mod causing noticable drop. The script update ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 from this mod alone.
