0.9.8.2 Optimizations in Experimental Branch
[ 2019-03-22 13:27:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello Nomads, We have some optimizations for you to test in the experimental branch. At first, we have changed a scripting back end from mono to il2cpp, which has 0 to 30% FPS increase in high CPU intensive scenarios (ie. many active blocks running of same resources etc.). This kind of optimization is available only on Windows yet, but we will see by your reports if it will be worth trying to use it on other platforms too. Second optimization is for all platforms and it is in physics. There was probably a race condition in physics engine thread synchronization that caused FPS drop after some time in gameplay. It seems that different physics settings are less vulnerable to this bug. So at least we have eliminated one probable cause of FPS drop. Here is the complete list of changes:
- Windows: new build using IL2CPP
- modified physics to do less transform sync
- fixed saving of hower blade height (should eliminate flyer bumpings on load/approach)
- planet map: right click on custom POI deletes it
- various minor script optimizations

Planet Nomads is a sci-fi sandbox game of survival on alien planets through lego-style building. You are a lone scientist crash-landing on a strangely captivating planet where no human has set foot before. Keeping your wit together and securing your basic survival needs, food, water and shelter, is your best start towards figuring out how to build a spaceship capable of interplanetary travels.
The game is coming to Early Access in Q1 2017 and is now in alpha. We are looking for testers. Check Planet Nomads website for more information. http://www.planet-nomads.com/
Planet Nomads provides a unique experience by combining building, survival and exploration together and making them equally important.
Building is the cornerstone of Planet Nomads. What you build determines your chances of survival and increases your action radius and potential to uncover more materials. Your options include over a hundred building blocks to choose from and use to create nearly anything your imagination can come up with. Paired with working physics for land-based vehicles and fliers.
You may have explored your immediate surrounding, but a few hundred kilometers away or a thousand meters higher, things could be radically different. Unlocking advanced technology allows you to explore the more hazardous places where you wouldn't survive before. The planets are up to 120 kms in diameter, with biomes changing as you travel from pole to pole.
Living the nomadic life is always full of danger and adventure. But mostly danger. Surviving on an inhabited planet is no easy task, but with careful planning, caution and a healthy amount of curiosity, you can do it. As long as you overcome radiation and poisonous atmosphere, avoid being slashed to pieces, frozen to death, eaten alive, starved and generally ended, that is.
Planet Nomads has been successfully Kickstarted and is being developed together with our community of Nomads.
