    Epic Games, the creators of Unreal Engine, add a lot of amazing features and performance improvements with each update, such as better multithreading support for modern CPUs.

    This is really good for CPUs with eight cores, which have been pretty standard since around 2019, 2020.

    We can push certain systems in our game to the CPU in a shared multithreaded pipeline rather than running them in isolation.

    This leads to higher FPS overall and better scalability as your factories grow.

    The only kicker is that if you're not running a CPU with multithreading, your performance might have gotten worse with this update.

    It's a bit of a give-and-take situation, but this really helps us future-proof the game for years to come.
