Most FPS drops is caused by physics, the new Unity handles...

Animal logic (I would not dare to talk about intelligence) is very simple, but their path finding algorithm should not allow them to walk into buildings. However, in case of attack they sometime...

Hello congo123,

This is a known problem. Once the physics engine gets into some impossible-to-solve situation, it tries to fix it by random shaking and never finds a correct solution. This is...

Thanks for your in detail suggestions. Now lets look on your questions:

1. When you leave your base, blocks gets unloaded, but their active components keeps active. That means...

We want to use Unity 2018 and other newer releases very badly, as the physics bugs seems unresolvable for us in old Unity 5.4 and no one could want Unity Technologies to fix/update those old...
