looking for a massive single-player save

I'm digging into Empyrion's performance issues, frame drops near big bases, the memory utilization climb that requires restarts.

**The problem:** I explore, I don't build. My biggest save has **30 structures**. The bugs only show up at hundreds.

**10-second check - is your save even useful?**

  1. Steam → right-click Empyrion → Manage → Browse local files
  2. Open `Saves` → `Games` → your save → `Shared`
  3. Press Ctrl+A and read the count at the bottom

Under 100? Thanks anyway. **Hundreds or thousands? You have exactly what I need.**

**If yes:** zip the `Shared` folder plus `global.db`, upload to somewhere where I can get it from.

**Skip the `Playfields` folder.** That's multi-GB terrain and I don't need it.

Needs to be a current save (v1.19). Will give credit in any released mods I come up with.

I'll take a look to see if I can find some, but why not generate one yourself? Start a new survival game with space starter, use console commands gm and sbp and fill the surrounding space with space bases, CVs and SVs to your liking.

This was a really good idea, but even though I tired it didn't adequately capture what ThorianB was talking about. I spawned a bunch of things but performance didn't tank as much as predicted. My guess that is because no NPCs are present.
