To the developpers.
I think it's really sad to see a such good game, with huge potential, limited by the different device.
At the end, it gives a game that do everything but at 50% of the possibilities... all of this because of phone users
and bad computer devices.
I dont know much in prog but is there no way to level up the game?
...in a way that some abilities of computer would not be seen by phones, just?
Or such thing would need 2 games with 2 community ?
...yeah it's not the aim, but it's so sad to read in so many thread thelag issues. =/

But many of our limitations are not device limitations. They're bandwidth, internet and server speed limitations. And those limits unfortunately don't have easy answers. If for instance you have someone in japan playing a ball game with someone in new york, it just takes a certain time for the messages to travel back and forth to each player and this creates a noticeable delay. This would not be fixed by limiting to a better subset of devices.
So it really depends which limits/lagging/issues you mean.
-turn off/on high quality shade?
-remove fully the fog?
-create some bigger rooms?
In 80% of my realms, there's always someone to say 'laaaag'
Some of those realm are big with much animated stuff like
-geyser
-tons of floating items
- hundreds of water block
.... and it's so laggy for some, that they have to leave, their screen just stop working, or they can't trade anything in cash register. What is it due to?
> The limitation of soil in a realm would be due to your personnal server?
When you talk about ball game... I wonder, how works game like call of duty with insta answer? It's because of huge server?
Ty for answers =)
Now for larger rooms with more floating items etc.. yes they will play better on a more powerful PC vs say an older mobile device. Is there a solution for the older mobile player in those realms? Not an easy one I'm afraid. It's easier to remove some of the limits for the pc player than it is to optimise more for the low end player. So yes fog could probably be eliminated on pc.. but the downside to that is you may design with some long view in mind (pixel art or something) without realizing that many players cant see it. So yes it's possible but there's a trade-off there.
Could we create some better quality shading for pc? Yes we could.. I've thought of doing some shadows etc.. and maybe we will one day, but it's a little bit difficult to invest too much time in a single platform when other things we could be working on would be good for all players. And we do currently have more mobile players than pc players. Of course adding some specific improvements for pc may help increase the number of pc players.
It's not always clear why people lag. It may be that your realms are taxing their devices but they might also have a bad internet connection or some other issue.
-1, there are many PC only games you can play instead .
I’m pretty sure this doesn’t work as it’s not a feature yet but I’m kind of curious, have a nice day. ^^
Talking about graphics (graphic's lag) , I understood what enza meant with 2 different community. I will use world of tanks again as comparison; they made two apps which is WoT(Not sure if PC only) and WoT Blitz(Mobile,PC,Xbox,etc.).
I first played WoT Blitz since I have expensive internet and cant download huge files. It's close enough to the main WoT. Has adjustable graphics from very plain to lots of shaders. I could play with friends in my Phone and Pc.
Then I finally downloaded WoT(Pc). Graphics is sooo wayyy amaaazing than blitz. Tank parts and crews are also more defined in gameplay. I even uninstalled WoT blitz after playing xD
Conclusion: The crossplatform device app is good for friends/portability sake while the focused app is very very great for gaming experience.
So kewberth, what about:
> The amount of floating item
> The amount of geyser.
> Slim and amount of any mob limit.
Is it really a server issue? Cause because of those, many give up with my room...
Strangely, my concern, i could build 5x this and have 0 lag.

EDIT: sorry you already answered it.... well that's for me the major thing to better.
“The realm you are trying to enter is bigger than 100x100 etc. are you sure you want to go?”
So then if you know you have a slow pc or device you will click no
(Just a suggestion :))
Can you make only the bottom floater draw in or would the function for that be slower than drawing in all of them at once?
