Just wanna say how sick this is;

Fresh install, fresh modpack install, 1.7 Unstable, RTX 4070, Ryzen 7 7700x, 32Gb RAM, All OC'd, SSD, and it would still normally take AT LEAST 30 minutes from a fresh install mod sort to home screen. 3440x1440, 165hz RTX HDR, Ultrawide

Thanks Ludeon and thanks Ferny!

EDIT: I think this is the modpack they used for testing? They claimed a 1500 modlist and this is Ferny's 1477 !

Why do they hate gates so much, I already tried to follow in their desired path and all but they stay rebellious

Tested on the unstable Steam branch, version 1.7 with the new Waylith Engine. Near vanilla environment with no performance mods. The five mech clusters I placed next to each other are all 10000 points each, and so are the three groups of neanderthals.

I couldn't imagine doing this on 1.6 without lagging 60% of the time, especially the wider shots with the Camera+ mod.

Cheers to the people over at Ludeon!

Here is archotech arm behaving like an actual piece of archotech.

Nearly entirely vanilla, tested across the exact same save of a dev quicktest.

My system is quite mid range, 13400f, 3060 12gb, and 64gb of RAM.

I am quite honestly in awe at how this was done with only changing the engine, the games actual code outside of the engine is supposedly entirely unchanged.

~3400 TPS max on a desert dev quicktest.
~10600 on the same save, only updated to 1.7.
and >12000 with a single pawn on that same save, as that's the cap (and also entirely unplayable).

If you are unaware, higher TPS = faster game speed. Higher is better.

Incredibly excited to see where this goes next, and what the full release is going to look like :)

So rimpy is really old mod manager, but it still worked for me in 1.6 without issues. I changed to 1.7 and it currently is don't want to build current mod list due to core package not in game folder anymore. Or something like that.

If someone have same issue and found solution write me how you did it. As i kinda don't want to leave rimpy, but would be forced to if problem is unfixable

Wanted to test the new loading time of 1.7. Started out with a control group. No mods, only DLCs. I looked away to start a stopwatch on my phone, and RimWorld had already opened up to the home screen by the time I'd punched in the unlock code.

Loading times when you're not running 300 mods have always been on the shorter end, but this is next-level. I'm seriously so impressed. I'm gonna spawn five raids at once next.

I have 370 mods, I can’t resist downloading more whenever I see them even if I know I probably won’t even use some, all the content is just too good to pass

The main problem I had with playing rimworld is that loading the game took me 11 minutes, 11 minutes of waiting? My ADHD could never. So i just stopped playing. But now this update changes everything

literally fixes my main problem and im sure that was the main problem for alot of other people! Thank you rimworld devs 😭

Im currently in a somewhat new run, that runs around 650 tps in 1.6. In 1.7, im hitting 1700 tps

Can we get a mega thread for all the "my mods don't work in 1.7" posts that are incoming? Could we also get the dev post pinned to the top of the sub so people can read that "most" mods will work in 1.7

With the performance improvements in 1.7, do you think we're getting closer to a more lively, dynamic world map?

Imagine factions actively expanding, fighting over territory, forming alliances, trading, and building new settlements without everything feeling static. The world could feel like it's evolving on its own, even when you're not directly involved. Do you think the new engine could open the door to something like this in the future?

I did not expect 1.17 to be that much faster. I have a 13 year colony with 70 colonists set on the largest map size. that went from a crawl to being as fast as it was when I had one person on 1.16. Shit's crazy
