if your game starts lagging for multiple people, the bottleneck is probably the machine you're using as the dedicated server (CPU, GPU, network, or all of the above).. if it's lagging for only one, it's probably the network link between the server and that one person..

If the server and its network connection are powerful the Serverside Simulations mod is a good workaround. Default multiplayer shuffles hosting duties around between the connected players whose hardware might not really be up to that task.

My base is huge, multiple outposts too. Of course though I am not playing with others either. /shrug

It seems the game isn't optimized for newer hardware for some reason. I recently went from an ancient RX480 to a 6700XT and I get worse performance in this game and this game only. Seems both NVIDIA and AMD newer GPUs don't like this game. You are better off with a 1070ti than a 3080ti it seems. But only this game though. In my 400+ game library this is the only one. Hopefully the devs will address this sooner or later.

I have mostly played solo until recently and lag was never a big problem. Now I;m on a server with a couple of others and at the big bases the lag is intolerable just as you say, but it isn't bad for the others. It is very hard to move the cursor where I want it and doors/chests open/close about three seconds after I hit the button. I chalk it up to my sub-par graphics card.

big base + teraforming = still ♥♥♥♥ conditions they havnt addressed this
