And finally, in the last video, we talked about new features coming to dedicated servers.

Well, in the land of optimization, dedicated servers have also seen some pretty massive improvements thanks to stuff like the foliage collision thing and the pooling of belts and pipes.

However, we're also experimenting with dedicated servers to enable streaming.

Up until now, the way dedicated servers has worked is that it loads everything in the game, so it loads the entire map and everything on it.

And by enabling streaming for dedicated servers, this means that everything on your server doesn't have to be loaded all the time.

So if you have a bunch of people hanging out in the same area, loading that space should be enough until you start using the map more, which obviously will require much less memory.

When you do start exploring and building far away from each other, then the stress of the server will sort of scale appropriately instead.
