Tbh, I've only ever used WeaponCore itself
With all the extra mods I haven't noticed any drop. But with more than a dozen or so lights I'll plummet from 30-40fps to 10-30.

weapon mods are notorious for causing fps drops so pick wisely.

the trick with reducing lag is to minimise the parts you use at all times, use as little conveyor blocks and so on...

Internals were the the most efficient layout, but by no means the best way. Besides, everyone has to learn how to do it, part of the fun in learning how to make ships.... all well and good making hulls but there's alot more to it all.

I also agree with the lag part, I *LOVE* lighting. But it's the main thing that definitely consumes the most processing power, by far, for me. It's annoying using some really cool Workshop Blueprints and then having to grind off or just not weld on lights because I know I'll be leaving half of them off all the time, so why bother with the resources :/

I do believe I might need help returning it (internally) to what you had xP
SO I suppose in one way I asking for help
I've been playing for a few months, after not touching the game since like 2016 :/

I use thruster and hydrogen.. ect efficiency mods because I hate having to overuse assets in the game making it laggy. I like the minimum approach to save fps on everything

Told you, do as you want with it and if you do upload just credit/link back to this and your good. No need to keep asking mate. "Literally do what you want" - reshape it- change the blocks- internal- everything.

I just noticed (in case you're unaware), on your blueprint, there's a missing "Duramax armour corner" on the starboard side, just behind the docking collar.

Would you be okay if I sent a friend request? I have the Duramax fully removed, and the shell 100% replaced. Not *everything* was replaced, some the layered armour has been removed till you/we decide about that? There's a lot of space inside :D I'm hoping maybe we can cram more thrusters in as well, there's definitely slightly more room for space efficiency (overlapping exhausts).
I've started on repainting. A lot of blocks will need "reprogramming" per say as they were deleted and replaced in the process (such as weapons, med-bay, projector etc.)

Just tested, Bingo :)
Player community FTW :D

that would be those.

That mod has the M1-A2 Coilgun in the forward dorsal bunker. still missing the rear dorsal two

that may be the one your missing-

Aye, I have everything bar the medium one up front (dorsal) and the two small ones at the rear (dorsal).

-there you go.

and one final big one on the bottom like the top.

well there's 2 halo guns on the sides,2 smaller point defence turrets, 2 guns on the rear sides (top side) 2 facing down on the sides and 2 on the roof. One main cannon, one smaller halo gun that can retract inside and outside the hull.

I definitely have every Mod listed installed, I'm still missing whatever was in the forward-starboard (dorsal) bunker. What's visible in the first two Workshop item's shared photo. Whatever weapons are in the aft side seats (dorsal) also aren't pasting with the blueprint (creative).
Is it possible the particular weapons are have been changed in the Mods? or am I still missing something?

Orig upload has the mod list : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837787977

May I ask, am I missing either a Mod, or the Weapons 2 DLC, for the forward-starboard bunker? or have you yourself left that empty on the Workshop blueprint?
For myself, I take it as a small challenge to add practicality (in the sense of an interior), a second level of "functionality".
The server I plan on using it, would be with one or two other friends, we got pretty excited at something to pack up the asteroid base into, take everything mobile. Where most other players are not typically "aggressive". So the lack of the Duramax (and some of the double thick walls) shouldn't be the end of us :D
I'd still like at some stage, (probably not for a couple of days or the next few weeks) to be able to hand you the blueprint.

I build alot of ship hulls and stations lol..... mainly for the challenge, sometimes like this for actual functionality. - That said, I do prefer to build my battleships and war rigs.

It doesn't upset or bother me in the slightest mate, feel free to upload it yourself and link back to this mod, say what you've changed/done and all's good.

the ship was never meant to have a interior past functionality as I primarily play pvp, so she's a actual combat mobile refinery if you check the armour layering and layout internally the last thing I made was the internals as ofc, you can just fly to the front and get in that way.

-I host a hardcore pvp/ survival game time to time with a couple friends when they have time and most of the time they cba to make their own ships so they pinch one of mine and ofc, mine are designed to bite so I end up needing a functional ship for even the most basic things.

Description fixed :D Legend!
I wanted to ask, and I don;t know how much this *might* or even could upset you...
I have a mostly finished shell of your Refinery... Using Vanilla (mostly light) armour (Because I was dying to use it on a mostly vanilla server). I'd like to ask when I'm finished, or almost finished if you'd like to come onto a world or invite me to one and I can paste it? Allow you to copy it and add to *your* Workshop?
On that note, if that *might* interest you, I know I'll need a little help refilling the interior. I've also partially tried to make the interior "accessible" or much more decorated.
Either way, I'd like to share it, but also don't believe *I* should add it to the workshop.

PS. a little thank you for the ship in the first place :)

put a space after "upload" on the description, you broke the HTML ;)
