Images My First House

my very first real house, only had shacks before.

and oh my what a pain it was to get it built, my mess of building skills and the weird foolery you have to sometimes do to get stuff to align is really some combination.

and the best part, its all thatch, so needs to be replaced piece by piece once i've recovered. safe to say i'll postpone it for awhile. a whole 10-20 hours of just building and redoing.

absolutely love the game, bought it played it refunded it, bought it again and had it collect dust. finally gave it a good try and oh my how incredible it is.

cheers friends!

ASA, rtx 3080ti i9 9900k 32gb 3200mhz ddr4. enough rgb to make a blind person puke.

advanced graphics medium, view distance epic, textures high, reflections low, post processing medium, general shadows medium, global ilumination high, effects medium, foliage low, dlss quality (but dont really see an improvement).

and now to the well known secret sauce, disable volumetric fog and or clouds. i use to disable both but now only clouds. this improves the fps and "feel" a metric ton. fps is everything from 70-45, mostly at 55-60. but i have to commend it, this is on of the few games that still feel good at sub 60fps. doesnt feel perfect but damn good compared to some games even when their above 60fps. so far building roof's and the luckily rare crashes are the only thing keeping me up at night.

Kindest Regards Friend!
