Higher PCU count for games

Brandon Carrell shared this feedback ago

Completed

I would like to see way more PCU added so I can enjoy some large battles between friends. There are some ships I cant even spawn because it breaks PCU.

We need unlimited pcu

We need unlimited pcu because it is not ok to make it so pc can have it but we can't also it can enhance the creativity

option to turn off pcu and block limts

Tyler Tucker

The PCU limit has to be drastically increased.

Especially in a four player game. Me and my buddies ran out just as we reached space for the first time with two small ships(just enough to get up there and survive for a bit). That left us with no room to make more ships, another base or anything else without first destroying everything else we had. Makes a building game pointless if you can't build (I love this game so don't really want to say that)

Can we have a way in the world settings to remove planets to get higher pcu limits

Can we have a option in the world settings to remove planets and possibly asteroids to have more pcu limit in our world's plz it'll allow us players to have more fun n creativity in the game

PCU Limit (Xbox).

The PCU limit for Xbox is currently 100000, And in w survival experience with multiple people playing it is just incredibly low, and since it's Xbox we cannot MOD the PCU like PC, So this makes things very frustrating.

Will xbox x will have better improve like more object on the ground and stuff like that

Pcu limit

The pcu limit seems alittle low i know its to help preformance with the game on xbox but it is frustrating i just set up my earth base a simple space station and 3 small grid ships and im at the limit it would be nice to increse or disable the limit im sure theirs a few people that would deal with the preformace hit for the increse limit

Add option to remove Pcu limit

The PCU limit at max doesn’t allow many ships or bases some people can deal with the lag that comes with having a bunch of objects placed so at lease at an option to make it larger or have a option to remove it entirely like on PC

Scott Stigger

PCU Limit in offline mode?

Please allow the PCU limit to be removed or disabled in offline game saves. Arrange it so once that option is enabled and you perform a game save after the loading the map up that save game becomes locked preventing It from ever being opened up to online play. I fully understand the logic behind PCU limits but it serves no purpose other than restriction for those who want to build big alone and offline. Thanks

Will the pcu and player limits be raised?

Players should be aloud to find a pcu/player limit that works for them even on xbox.

Olivier Pauquet

block limit on multiplayer after release

the game won't let us launch our previous save from the beta because we have "to many block" the total block is just approximately 7000.

Are you going to put it back to the way it was on the beta or do we just have to stop playing ?

Xbox VS PC

I'm pretty sorry about the xbox game is very limited. I was looking forward to it. I paid more for it than if I bought it on a PC and yet it is more limited than on a PC. Resp. Playing the console is more expensive and at the same time poorer. The limitation of what is on the PCU and I don't mean multiplayer but singleplayer is terrible. Man is terribly limited in creation. I cannot base myself on the ground at the same time on the moon and at the same time on the Mars and at the same time some ship and smaller ships to it. Then it is a shame that there are no other planets in it. Excuse me if I fit the money in. You know where. I could have a cheaper game while doing all that. I understand your work. I can imagine it's a difficult thing to do but still ..

Joel johnson

PCU limit needs to be removed or made optional

It’s the worst idea since battle royal as you can’t even build a decent ship with these limits and worst of all you can’t disable them, this ruins the game and makes players extremely annoyed please fix this. Also most consoles and pcs can handle more that the limit so why limit it at all if somebody’s console cannot take the amount of blocks then they just need to delete some instead of everybody being limited.

Temporary optional extra PCU mode

PCU limits have been an issue for a lot of users, myself included. Would it be viable to add the ability to increase PCU locked behind an option that gives warning to players that it will affect performance and may cause unintentional side effects?

That way, if we enable it we've been ample warned and have ourselves to blame for anything going wrong with our worlds? I know I'd rather deal with awful performance for now so I can finish my super carrier...

HIGHER CPU But with Unlimited Option

The Xbox Version is in need of a massive Update with the CPU I have been playing the game for years on PC and couldn't wait for the Xbox Version. Me and 2 of my friends are always playing the game and we started in the Solar System. We are always running out of CPU to build Large Ships or Stations to make the game more enjoyable. I believe the CPU should be raised up to 100,000 for multiplayer but an option for their to be Unlimited. Reason behind this is their is now room to create and build

Could u guys maybe double pcu limit for xbox

To add to this a higher max block count per ship as well

Thank you for your feedback! We will consider adding experimental mode to Xbox.

Darren W. Pearce (Dwolfyone) ●

Experimental mode would be fantastic, I concur :)

URL

John Dawson ●

Isnt experimental mode already in the beta as we have had access to the new block currently in testing such as the small grid small hydroden tank? Also making the PCU amount per armored block the same as pc and as it was beginning of the beta would help with pcu limits effecting build size

Adding the mod that adds more larger ramp blocks like the 6:1:1 thats also used in the loading screen for the game would also reduce this as bigger blocks same PCU costing less to build more. Cant wait till this game releases i want the decorative blocks so bad but keep up the good work.

Stephen Mackie ●

Experimental would be fantastic as some creations and world's require experimental mode to be used so they can be spawned.

Brian Ream ●

I would completely be ok with having to have small load times every 25km or whatever would be needed to help accomplish a higher pcu limit. Please! 😁

URL

Dean Green ●

100% agree.

I have nothing but great things to say about the Beta, even so far as to say it works better than most full release games of the last few years.

However, the pcu limit does seems a little low. I was in the early stages of framing out a design when I encountered the limit which was a bit disappointing but I understand why it's there but my game was still running super smooth at the limit.

It also hit a bit harder as all my experience with creative building with games usually comes to an end due to limitations of design (such as lack of block variety) rather than hardware issues. SE has such a great amount block variety that I have been able to do pretty much whatever my heart desires with the only limitiation being scale due to the pcu limit.

So yeah, I fully agree with the limit either being increased or potentially an option to disable it completely on console.

Chad Greer ●

Yeah limiting us is ridiculous. No other games that I've played like this have limits. I have around 9 hours on my 5th attempt at building a huge carrier and this time everything was working fine with it. Im about half done with it and I hit the PCU limit? So a game where I can finally build the way I want to build finally comes along and I still can't build the way I want? If the limit is just for the beta and it will be unlimited for release then I apologize for the rant. But if its a permament limit then I don't want this game anymore.

I was also building my home design ship in 1:1 ratio, the gull is about 95% complete but ocu limit has striked

We will consider this feature. Keep voting.

Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for considering if it does happen us players will be super happy and excited

I also added my vote. Experimental mode would be greatly appreciated for the higher end consoles.

In a basic survival starting on Earth in the solar system. Starts by building a Rover and a main Earth base. Then making an atmospheric miner Ship. Then making a hydroShip to get into space, then making a JumpBase on an astroid, then making a IonAstroid Mining ship, then making a large JumpShip, then making a Mars Base, then making a Mars Rover, then a moon base, moon Rover. All of these things were made in very small scale, And I hit the PCU limit....I still haven't made a Freighter...still haven't made a moon,Mars mining ship, still haven't made stationary miners, still haven't made my battleships.... Now you see my point of view through a survival experience. And now imagine having multiple people that want to build there own things but want to play with others still.... Impossible...

Please consider adding this soon. I've got a few buddies that have been waiting to play this game with me but the current PCU limits don't allow for hardly anything to be built, especially when running a 4 player world. Please make this a priority.

I just hit the pcu limit early today in creative after making a few, albeit large, mining ships. Please make it larger or have the option to disable a pcu limit.

can I expect a respond before the 15?

Hello, sorry it has nothing to do with your question but I play on Xbox and I have a problem on a game in cooperation with a friend, he can not save or join the game when I am not connected. Do you have the solution? thank you in advance

URL

Olivier Pauquet ●

the creator of the save is the host if you are not in the game he can't play that save

URL

Olivier Pauquet ●

what you can do is upload the save on the workshop when you leave so he can download it and play and he can do the same when he is done so you can always play even if the other isn't there

URL

Marnic Schmidt ●

Very true. The players should be given the option to test the limits of their own console. I managed to host a 4 player session on the first gen Xbox one, reached the pcu Limit and had 4 people on and the game was just fine. I don’t think you need to restrict the player from these option since it’s a waste of potential

Keen Support ●

We are investigating multiple possibilities of having more PCUs in Xbox version:

- using the dedicated servers (coming to Xbox in future months)

- extending PCUs in experimental mode (soon available in Beta)

- optimizing the game to allow more PCUs (in future months)

We will keep you posted on the progress.

It is sad . Unfortunately, I stopped playing the game. I played it for 4 days and I don't play it anymore. So the wasted money 😡 ... She stopped amusing me because I can't really put anything build up😓

Jamie Gilleece ●

Out of interest what was the limit of PCU on the Xbox One X when you tested it?

URL

guyinspace ●

The highest limit seems to be 100,000 right now.

URL

Tyler Kness-Miller ●

And 100,000 is only for an offline world. Max for any world made for multiplayer (basically anything other than offline) is 50,000.

URL

John Dawson ●

When the Beta Started the limit was 100,000 with an online server and small grid armour blocks were 1 PCU each but soon after it was dropped to 50,000 for online server and small grids blocks became 2 PCU which all Armour clocks on PC are 1 PCU small or large grids

URL

David Mills ●

More PCU block no because if you play on Star system and how much you need PCU block you would need each planets and space stations and asteroid station. I’m will rather say easy answer Unlimited PCU blocks so we can more make easy for us or still have PCU they will still never be easy like go back planets grinder all and travel back build. Seem it bad if have PCU blocks limits

MATTHEW A DEFORDE ●

Would love you see more weapon both large and small grid and hand weapons! Also increased enemy activity with larger more powerful ships

Sieyono Lee ●

Also remove pcu option should be placed in multiplayer.

Hi guys,

higher PCU count is available on Xbox in Experimental mode in the Beta.

100k for MP and 200k for SP.

Here are the Beta instructions: https://forums.keenswh.com/threads/xbox-community-beta.7403905/

Thank you for your feedback!

Tyler Kness-Miller ●

Thank you for the higher PCU count! Are you by chance planning to eventually give us the option to remove the limit in Experimental Mode?

Francesco Foresta ●

How do I activate the experimental mode?

Sieyono Lee ●

The game still has heavy limitations even though it is 100000 PCU. I can only build one ship. Please remove PCU limits.

Maddious (Old Account) ●

@Keen Support, a quick question, why is PCU limit on Xbox One/S, vs Xbox One X, the same. Given differents in performance between Standard/S an X version?

Any Global limit is a problem, unless you make ships/rovers Storable!! So players can manage there PCU limit a bit more, even in survival game.

I put some of my thoughts here > ( A Idea to Unload/Mobile Grid Storage Container for a Local Dynamic PCU limit )

ps, Max per player limit even in (Experimental Mode) is 100k max, so you cant use that 200k if your offline!!

URL

Keen Support ●

We have just released an update with the experimental mode and increased limits.

To address your questions:

- the limit can not be removed because of memory limitation

- the raised limits are in experimental mode because the game may not run sim speed 1.0 in all cases

- we are still optimizing the memory consumption to be able to increase limits in the future

- Dedicated servers should help us to increase the limits much more

- We don't want to have different limits for original Xbox and X, because the worlds would not be transferable between the console variants, thus separating the community

Hope you understand our reasons. Thank you for your feedback!

Can you guys add larger ships for enimies do if your in a big ship you can battle with ai's but in larger ships, kinda like the story/survival game were your on mars and a huge ship comes to attack you from entering the drone facilities 😋
