I love this game, especially building stuff, it is wonderful and amazing, but... there is always one "but" spoiling everything. Going above 7000–9000 instances made around you with builds or terraforming makes this game unplayable. I am averaging 30–45 frames after 7-9k instances and this is with i7 7700k, 1070 Ti and 16Gb of 3800 MHz RAM. I don't know if that setup considered weak or not, but I bet there should be at least 60 frames up to 30k instances, or it is unworthy. You just get punished for being creative, that how it feels like for me. I have a friend with even better pc he is on 3080 + some last get i5 and 32 GB RAM, and he is issuing the same frame drops down to 30 and even below.
It's been how long? About 3 years already? Idk, mb increase the price on the market to get motivation in developing. Or tell us that this will never happen, so we just move on. But I still believe, but can't find any dev posts about optimization and road plan in general.

Yeah, I think it's important to remember that the game isn't done yet. How can they optimize something that's unfinished? In the meantime, dial back your graphics settings when you're doing complex work and give the devs the time they need to finish their beautiful product in their due time.

We gave Factorio their space to make the game at whatever pace they wanted, and it's a masterpiece. Let Irongate do the same with Valheim and be patient.
