One ask.... Just one... For the love of gawd..

Fire spread! Can it be a regular setting in this new version? I'm a console guy and I can't use the fancy mods.

 

[bdubyah]

It is a bit of a performance hit, and the game already struggles on consoles so that's probably never happening.

Xbox series S would blow up like a tactical nuke lmao

 

[VenomGoo]

I mean, I can do it on modded Minecraft when my son plays and it's also flawless on Teardown on PS5, but I get it I guess.

 

[bdubyah]

Minecraft has it on by default, doesn't it? Either way I know it can lag MC when a decent bit of fire is happening. No idea about Teardown, but isn't that game basically a tech demo? Fairly small levels, nothing much happening other than players breaking things from what I've seen. Neither of those games really are that similar to 7 Days. Apples and oranges.

Teardown is a full game now. I'm just saying make it a toggle option.

And I'm just saying it isn't gonna happen with this game. Maybe if it was PC-only, but consoles simply wouldn't be able to handle it. They barely run the current game as it is. If you want it buy a PC and quit being limited by weak consoles.

 

[VenomGoo]

Whoa, I'm not a simpleton with an Xbox.

 

[bdubyah]

Did I say that? No, I didn't. But I've seen enough reports from both PS5 and Series X users about the game performance being not great. And from the few videos I've seen it certainly doesn't seem the best. Maybe 3.0 will make it a bit better, who knows. But you're asking for a performance hog type feature to be added on top of that. Not very likely that will happen.

 

[VenomGoo]

■■■■, you must be really fun at parties and funerals.

 

[Vaeliorin]

Yes, heaven forbid someone be realistic. Even on a mid-grade PC, fire spread in 7 Days is a huge weight on resources/frame rate.

Given that they are trying for parity between the PC and console versions, not likely to ever happen officially.

 

[bdubyah]

Unfortunately to most people, being a realist is the same as being a pessimist. I've learned it just comes with the territory. Lol.

 

[VenomGoo]

I mean, Icarus has fire spread and that is a much more demanding game overall...

Is it on console tho? (No fr idk anymore lmao)

 

[VenomGoo]

It is. Generally speaking it is much more visually demanding on both consoles and PC. Same with Teardown. The fire aspect is actually very realistic.

 

[Vaeliorin]

Icarus isn't a voxel-based game. I have no idea what Teardown is, so can't comment on that.

 

[VenomGoo]

Every element of Teardown is voxel based.

 

[BFT2020]

Do any of those games have an advanced physics based system where structural integrity down to bedrock is constantly calculated and updated based on changes to the world?

 

[VenomGoo]

Yes. That is literally the main idea behind Teardown.

 

[Prisma501]

Yes. That is literally the main idea behind Teardown.

Then why must a mod be installed to introduce structrural integrity? Causing players to complain about the performance drop when using that mod?
