    I started a new random survival game, got to the ContAr1a95 system, found two Temperate planets but none of them had the new deco system. Am I missing something obvious?

    Might be a glitch? On my first attempt, after modding the warp drive to be able to travel the distance in 1 jump, I got there (planet, not the moon) in a CV to be able to save the game in space and resume from there. Loaded my save, got close to the ground, then the game simply froze and crashed. Upon reloading, my CV had vanished. Did you try teleporting there or went by normal means ?

    Just as a note, yesterday I loaded that same save again, and when I tried leaving by clicking on "exit" the Unity splash screen appeared with a progression bar on top of my game window, and the game simply closed right there without showing me the main menu...

    So this build may have something weird going on.

    Normal means, I guess, as the test system was kinda close to the starting planet.
    I will try again with a new save tonight. Let's see what gives. Thanks.

    Performance wise in my GTX 1660 Super with 32 GB RAM I didn't notice any unfortunate issues with the new deco and FPS. There is a loading freeze time it takes when it first renders the stuff though.

    About the deco plants, if you manage to let size, color, texture options be configurable it'd really make a difference in the procedural generation. I see every planet being unique and colorful (when needed) this way.

    Can you screenshot your video settings please? I would like to test my similar performance wise 1070 with which since Exp 1.7.0 performance was reduced.

    Don't tell anyone but ... Performance is also for me reduced :NewRollingEyes: My Graphic card is only 2 Years old and weaker than yours(only 4GB). And yet still I have 60 to 80 FPS all over the place.

    We should wait for the final version for improvement in this area.

    Actually what I meant was that I didn't find any issues that weren't already there.
    I mean, I often see some FPS drop for some seconds even before the update.
    But I haven't noticed the Exp 1.7 III making it worse. I'll play again this weekend and show some data.

    I always wondered where Pimento Olives came from. :)
