performance issues

Gryphon XCIX shared this feedback ago

Completed

I use an xbox 1 x, and attempting to build on the moon is a complete mistake. there are 10 npc stations within 20 km of where i want to build. The lag is so bad the entire game freezes for about 3 seconds every 30~45 seconds. this has killed me several times as well as caused me to crash my ships a few times because when the game freezes, it doesn't recognize that ive turned or pushed a button. I normally have to use the admin menu to remove the encounter stations that pop up to remove the lag and its been working while i was on an asteroid above earthlike.

I have already turned down view distance to the minimum 5km, and thats the only thing i see that can improve performance, and it does nothing to help me. Even the on screen warnings say there's too many blocks and to do some sort of cleanup, but theres nothing i can do about it.

I play survival, offline, by myself. PLEASE INPUT AN OPTION TO REMOVE NPC FACTIONS AND THEIR STATIONS!

Hi Gryphon,

You can disable Economy in the world settings to remove NPC factions.

Also, we are working on the fix to decrease its performance impact. We already pushed part of it in the recent update.

Thank you for your feedback!

Totally feel your frustration here. Playing on Xbox One X and dealing with heavy lag from NPC stations is a real buzzkill, especially when you're just trying to enjoy survival mode. That constant freezing every 30–45 seconds not only breaks immersion, but like you said—it literally gets you killed or causes crashes mid-flight.

I’ve had similar issues and it really seems like we need an in-game setting or toggle to disable NPC factions and their stations entirely, especially for solo, offline players. It’s great that we can use the admin tools as a workaround, but a permanent option would save a lot of hassle.

I recently came across similar performance problems while covering game tweaks and mod ideas over at Honista for iOS (not linking, just mentioning), and honestly, optimization for console survival players deserves way more attention. Hope the devs consider this soon—there’s a lot of us out there just wanting a smoother experience without removing the fun parts of the game.

Totally get where you're coming from. Playing on Xbox One X with constant lag from NPC stations can ruin the whole survival experience. That freezing every 30–45 seconds kills the vibe—and like you said, it can literally get you killed mid-flight or cause a crash.

I've run into the same problem, and it really feels like there should be a built-in option to disable NPC factions or their stations—especially for solo or offline players. Sure, admin tools help, but a proper toggle would make things so much easier.

While testing performance tweaks and mod ideas about Honista for PC, I noticed similar issues—unoptimized features dragging the whole experience down. Whether it’s a social app or a survival game, smooth performance should always be a priority. Really hoping the devs take this seriously.
