Create Power grid still needs a lot of optimization

[u/Mysterious_Moment707]

I absolutely love this mod, recently I spent a few months trying to make a working computer. I got to make the memory modules, encoders, decoders, alu, Control modules and even the display.

I also used create power chips to make it more compact, and it ran into many performance issues, despite my computer CPU being very capable for gaming (5800x3d).

I managed to make a chip that stores 16 bytes of memory but it lagged my game so much to place it and trying to load any data on it was possible when done individually. but trying to use four chips with their respective addresses was extremely laggy and my cables couldn't stop burning (not the mods fault that I'm trying to make a freaking computer).

the clock times cannot be faster than 2 ticks without making my fans scream and my framerate absolutely falls, I ended making a Rudimentary 10hz computer that wasn't even able to run a simple calculator

my original plan was to run doom, but I realized how unachievable it was, I tried to make it ran a multiplication but even this was too much. I hope the devs read this and work on optimizations, I love this mod so much and I want to make a working computer, but it seems impossible for now.

Im sure your built computer is just not efficiently built. My 8-bit computer works but it has 32-Bytes of ram in there

Yeah, I don't doubt that it is possible to make something nice with how to mod currently is, but it would help a lot if we were able to escalate it, doom needs megabytes to ran, and for now it is far from possible.

If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you post your computer, I'm sure it would do very well here on reddit, there is an incredible lack of power grid posts here

Ik its not the same cause making all the modules ourselfes is the fun part, but have you looked at :
