high CPU usage

[Raaavan]

has anyone noticed this game takes up a lot of CPU after the recent update?
I have i5 8th gen and my CPU is 87% used just by this game

Having a lot of vegetable growers or flower spreaders in sight can cause this. If you look at the ground, away from them, does the usage decrease?

More objects were in sight more the game lagged but shouldn't the game be using GPU instead of CPU???

my cpu is 60% used by this game,the power consumption is very high

Yep, the lag is real. It's more of a combined number of animated objects. I put all my power supplies in a group far away, same with oxygen, heat and pressure generators. I noticed windows are a huge lag too. Something I've seen in other early builds of Unity games. Until then I suggest moving groups of stuff far away from places you spend the most time.

The game as it currently stands is coded in a way that forces it to be CPU bound.

i3 10100F 4/4 CPU = 5 Watts (MSI Afterburner)

The trick with Unity games is NOT to play in highest (native) resolutions (CPU) nor 'ultra' or 'maxed' out graphics modes (GPU) since these games - especially, when still in development - are not meant to run nor optimized for such resolutions.

My R7 2700X runs about 30-35% usage outside and 37-43% inside a structure, staying a stable 56-57C on a Noctua air cooler. The game only uses just over a gig of RAM also.

Interestingly enough, when walking through a forest the usage dropped to 28%.

i5 8th generation does tell absolutely NOTHING about your CPU speed.
You need to post the complete name e.g. i5 8700k or 8365U as there is a huge difference in performance although both are i5 8th generation.

People cry about low CPU usage. People cry about high CPU usage. Christ.

I originally started in the highest graphics setting and only started having lag around the point I cracked insects. Cranked it down one notch and it was fine.
Until the final product is released I completely understand this being a risk and frankly it's an acceptable one. Alot of world crafting games are pretty intensive and this one has dynamic landscape going on so it's more ambitious.

I'm getting serious FPS drops after playing a while and it is like 5-10 seconds after I access any container (backpack included) and 5-10 after I leave any container. i5 7600K 32GB RAM and RTX3080. If I have say Youtube playing in the background it occurs much quicker.

The game currently takes up 30+% of my CPU.
