Make bundle/straps and etc for more items

[KHeket]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Because of fps eating by lots of items - I want to make a lot of recipes simular to bundle/straps for mass items, like coins, glass shards, kevlar/plastic sheets, wires and other items. But I need time to understand, how to do it and what items must be converted first into bundles. Becouse I like to grab all usefull items - there is lot of fps eating piles of them laying at my base

Solution you would like.

I want (or may be somebody else will do it) to make recipes, which will convert mass of items in 1 item. As example, we have "body bag" with 100L and 100kg capacity. It can contain 1333 glass shards, but, if you have a few of fully filled body bags - it will cause lags, may be crashes. And when you will enter the location, or traveling with lots of items in car - it will also eat fps. And easy way to save fps - convert a bag and 1333 glass shards inside it (1334 items in total or 1 conteiner with 1333 items inside) into 1 item called like "Body bag filled with glass shard" . And make simular recipes for a lot of items like this. We have simular recipe for a few items, and, I think, time to uprage this lists

List of items

• Coins
• Glass shards
• Plastic chunks
• Kevlar sheets
• Lycra sheets
• Canvas sheets
• Roll of treads: tread, heavy duty tread, kevlar tread, nomex tread, plant fiber, sinew
• Metal wires, copper wires
• Any kind of metal: Chunk of steel/lump of steel/scrap metal
• Chitin/acid chitin/endochitin
• Nature meterials: alder bark, pine bough, pine resin, pinecorn, tanbark, willowbark, handful of leaves, splintered wood, twig

List of items or ways as idea for converting:

• Body bag
• Canvas bag
• Swag bag
• Plastic bag
• Bundle/strap
• Coin wrapper
• May be we can use boxes, because they are a little useless
• Paper
• Ropes

It doesnt mean, that all way of converting will be used for all items, but I wrote it as an example

I am fairly sure this is not the case. The overhead for non-active items is pretty close to zero. If have a save where this is occurring, upload it and it can be profiled to determine the issue.
It can increase loading times.

Overhead for non-active items yes, close to zero, but when this items is a lot - "close to zero" increases to higher values

For the quick check - spawn with debug menu body bag, spawn 12000 coins and fill body bag with it - you will occure fps slowing when you will open your inventory, while helding filled body bag in hands, trying to pick up by "g" from the tile, where they dropped, "w"eild something near this tile, or trying to insert into some of containers in hand, and more others examples. And it just a quick example (you can repeat it, making more bags filled with coins - and fps will die faster). And no need to say, how it will affect on the moving car, which should making item moving checks every turn

At my base I always have a lot of pieces, sheets etc, and it will be much more harder to fix, than convert all most fps eating items into 1 item

Oh, you mean that it makes menus slower. That can happen, yes.

Fwiw I was working on this but put it on hold awhile ago. Still a lot of work to do but there's some stuff there

Not only menus. More items on the screen - more items must be checked every turn - every turn will ne longer. I saw a few pr about this problems, but, anyway, this will be helpfull too

I will need some time to figure out, which items are more fps comsuming and must be bundled first, and make a list of them here. Do you want me to help you to gather information or it better to make all by myself? Or I can just ask you aboiut it again, when I will start creating this bundles

[anothersimulacrum]

Items are not checked unless they are active, and are not checked every turn.

[fractal-coyote]

Lycra sheets also cannot be bundled, or canvas sheets.

Whatever people say about it "not checking unless active", loot a tailor basement, toss it in your car's trunk and go for a drive, and you can notice immediate slowdown and lack of responsiveness. It feels like using a soundpack with an overly-long sound to walk quickly over grass... Your keypresses just stop registering half the time.

Items are not checked unless they are active, and are not checked every turn.

There is also issue #63586 about it in which inactive items chechked every turn
