UPS savings

If I start a new game with no biters and no polution how much UPS will this actually save me? I am currently getting killed on UPS in my current game and so am unable to continue further.

You could make a backup of your current world, then use the console commands to remove biters & pollution on it and see how it affects the UPS.

How do you do that? Part of is I also had to reveal a large part of the map to kill off the biters to keep them off my back so I am unsure of just how much it would help.

Have not used those commands myself, but they are listed on the wiki with example code:

It didnt help very much. Using the console commands only kills the visible biters and does not kill off all your polution it only makes the cloud smaller.

Are you playing on the experimental branch? This could also affect how much UPS you gain when you deactivate pollution and biters. And what did you do to design your base to be UPS friendly?

Its all bots with minimized box usage and everything is as close together as possible to increase effeciency. Also I am on the 0.15x branch.

Basically no belts except in very small amounts in my production area (like 10 length at most) and some belts used for measurement purposes that I havent cleaned up but they have nothing on them. I do have 176 nuke plants though
