Starting a new game the FPS is great. As the game progresses the FPS becomes troubled. By sol 21 I could see the decrease in performance, by sol 40 I had to wait often for the FPS to "catch-up" so the game was playable for a bit. Usually before sol 100 the game gets so bad that I cannot play it any more. This game I am at sol 72 and the game went from 60/70 FPS at start to consistent 10-20 FPS ans soon it will be single digit FPS where it becomes unplayable. This is one of the biggest hindrances to playing a long game. Instead I am left with playing the beginning until I am stable, but cannot progress beyond that to even explore and colonize the planet. The game just cannot handle it. As a comparison, I play many other "building/creating" games and I have Minecraft worlds that have been around for years and have been massivley mined and built out and don't suffer any issues with performance. Empyrion Galactic Survival is similar, I have games that are super far along and don't suffer performance degredation as the game play continues. But others like Space Engineers suffers like this game, but not nearly as bad. I have some massive games on there that started at 120 FPS and have degraded to high 20's, which hurts, but they are still mostly playable. This is the only one so far that progresses so badly that I cannot play because 1-3 FPS is just not a game.
