FPS Stress Tester

The FPS Stress Tester is a diagnostic vehicle for Stormworks that intentionally lowers the game's frame rate (FPS).
It allows you to test and debug vehicle behavior and world physics under simulated performance stress conditions.

• Toggleable performance load (ON / OFF)
  
• Adjustable load level (1–100)
  
• Optional noise function (adds random fluctuation to load)
  
• Displays current load level via numeric and bar indicators
  
• Real-time line chart visualizing load fluctuation

• Stress testing microcontrollers and Lua scripts
  
• Observing vehicle behavior under low-FPS conditions
  
• Verifying PID tuning and time-sensitive logic
  
• Simulating multiplayer lag for debugging
  
• Reproducing and identifying bugs in unstable conditions

You can enable or disable the Noise (randomized load) via the microcontroller's property settings.
The default setting is true (enabled).


↑ Disabling noise results in a more stable and consistent load pattern.

• Load Control Unit (Microcontroller): Handles load processing, graph rendering, and bar output
  
• ON Signal (Switch): Starts or stops the load generation
  
• Load Level Input (Slider / Number): Specifies the intensity of the load (1–100)
  
• Video Output (Monitor, 2x3 recommended): Displays real-time graph and bar visuals

• This vehicle is intended to intentionally reduce game performance, and may significantly lower FPS.
  
• Due to potential impact on your PC and game responsiveness, long-term usage is not recommended.
  
• This is a developer/testing tool and is not intended for general gameplay use.
  
• Excessively high load levels may cause system slowdown, freezing, or crashes, depending on your hardware.
