Alwent South (Lite)

This is the lite version of the Alwent South (Custom Oil Rig Base).

Cost: $564,940
Mass: 6235

Changes include:

• The addition of Physics Flooders to all the storage tanks.
  
• The doors to all non-essential areas such as the Generator module, kitchen storage room and one of the Accomodation wings have been locked, their contents removed and Physics Flooders added.
  
• The launch RHIB has been removed but can easily be added back in by copying and pasting it from the original Alwent South via the workbench, or spawned in separately and brought over to the rig afterwards.
  
• The LB600 lifeboats have been gutted, given Physics Flooders and are now for decoration only.
  
• Several ropes and moving parts using pivots have been removed and/or given static replacements where possible.
  
• Many decorative shapes that were being counted as separate objects by the Stormworks physics engine have been merged or removed entirely.
  
• The 'Keep Active' block that keeps the Alwent South loaded into the game wold - even when the player is far away from the oil rig - is located inside the coffee machine in the upstairs office and control room.
  You can safely delete this block via the workbench when you initially spawn it in if you want to save on even more system resources and make the game run even faster, just be aware that if you do so then the oil will only be refined into diesel and jet fuel when you're within 2km of the Alwent South.

Overall these changes mean that this version of the Alwent South now runs almost twice as fast as the original one - ideal for multiplayer gaming sessions, people who like to bring large oil tankers to their rig, or those that run Stormworks on what is more or less a potato with wires sticking out of it but still insist on using a small fleet of lag-inducing vehicles.
