    And now I can instantly also show another optimization we did.

    Maybe people didn't notice yet, but they don't have legs anymore.

  2. Snutt

    Yeah.

    So what we do with the legs now is we only give them lags when it's relevant.

    So if they're on the slope, we give them legs.

    Some buildings still have legs, like the Space Elevator, obviously, because they are unique to them.

    They look really good on them too.

    Without it, it looks a bit weird.

    The HUB still have them, and what's it called again?

    The Nuclear Reactor, I think, still have them.

    So we have cases where they're still enabled, but in general, they are disabled.

    And also, the Constructor has four legs, but it means it has the leg and the feet.

    So that would be eight components for just one constructor.

  4. Snutt

    Right.

    Again, so those are very super easy wins and they also help a lot with loading and saving.
