Thalassophobia Gamma

DNA Scanner causes massive lag.
Hey there. It's me again, ya boi who runs the server with a custom joblist and station which utulizes Thalassophobia.

So thing is there's a whole unique section for people to do things with Thalass. Four testing cells and a laboratory full of thalass and medical components.

So we get a lot of people playing geneticist. Which is actually starting to become a problem. You see, when people play geneticist, they tend to use the DNA scanner to get DNA they don't already have from random spawns.

The problem here is that said DNA scanner causes insane server slowdown lag whenever it's active. The further into the match we are, the worse the lag gets, to the point where if people turn it on later into the round, it'll just cause a network desync and everyone will be booted to the main lobby, but the round will still be 'going' until I endround in console to reset the server.

yeah i know. i've already formulated a fix for this behind the scenes. the DNA scanner just had a massive range for reasons unknown, you can scan things from like 4 floors away for whatever reason. in the next update it's fixed, but the next update really isn't going to be released until Vanilla gets updated because of the mod hash miscalculation bug. sorry about this.

Curses. Well I guess we're stuck with the lag for now. At least I have something to look forward to.

trust me i'm pretty resentful that updating is broken as well. there's a ton of new stuff that i'm excited to release when updates are fixed.

So what about updating is broken? Updating my mods seems to work just fine. I mean there's occaisionally an issue where it doesn't DL the update, but deleting the files and allowing a redownload works fine.
