Workarounds to very high lag due to high part count?

[Toastedbuns]

I'm guessing a lot people have had this problem before because I know my PC is definitely not a terrible PC but yet it still tanks to hell whenever I try to assemble anything in orbit. I have a two part mothership, front-end and back-end with a heavy Duna lander, a lighter Ike lander and a rover for transportation on Duna and every time I control the thing my FPS drops insanely low. I've heard about the physics thing or whatever and its at the default setting but I was wondering if there are any fixes or mods that can solve this issue without having to restart the station construction because I'm lying when I say it's taken at least 8 hours.

Whoever can figure this out gets eighty bucks and a hooker. Thank you

The easiest way is to decrease the graphic quality in the settings.

Try running at 1/8 res of the texture quality with aliasing to "off", Pixel Light Count to 0 and Shadow Cascade to 0... it SHOULD give you a little FPS boost, but for very massive ship don't expect miracle either

And yes, it's gonna be ugly

Just saw this and nope, didn't really help :L But thanks for tryin

There's no workaround other than reducing your part count. This is not a rendering problem and graphics will barely affect it. It's the physics bottlenecking you here, and the only way to ease on them is to ask them to do less stuff, aka less parts.

I'm afraid that was the case. I'm definitely gonna redesign my mothership after I painstakingly complete this mission. Thank you.
