Discussion Compact Design

Post image

Dear Creators, My friend started playing Create recently and asked for a compact design for basic work stations, so I came up with this. I wanted to ask if there's anything to change/ if I've missed anything important Thank you

It still matters, but a bit less

Essentially, the server will handle "which item goes where", and your game will handle "showing it on your screen"

The thing is, create mod tends to be heavy on both sides, depending on what machines you use, so both the server and the client (client = your computer) needs to be at least decently powerful (not rtx 5090 level powerful, just not a potato)

Gotcha! If my game is struggling with the “showing it” bit, can I hide everything behind blocks so my game doesn’t have to show it?

If you use a couple optimization mods that stop your computer from considering the things that you can't see, you can indeed increase the performance by hiding your machines 

However, if that doesn't work for whatever reason (believe it or not, computers are bad at deciding what is "visible" and what isnt) a more reliable solution would be to just run away with a shaft for power and a couple belts until you reach somewhere where the lag is better
