How does Starbase handle all of the debris?

[Vetteran]

Other games like Space Engineers can barely handle 512 rocks/items/bits of ship on the ground. How can Starbase handle it all so smoothly?

I got crash when there are too many things to load. It is not very smooth now at least.

During first Outpost Assault event there were quite crazy amounts of trash lying around

It did caused issues. No noticeable FPS drop, but it prevented some ships (even the active ones) from loading.
So still needs a lot of work on LOD logic and networking. But that's already promising for alpha game.
