I think sometimes hello which one is, better from a frame rate performance point of view, conveyor buses trains or motor vehicles not vehicles yes trains might be better for frame rate, yes because trains don't do the the wheel thing right or the the the simulation of, what's it called yeah yeah no they don't even do the no no no they don't do the traces or anything is that called chase the tracing no yeah but for for this the the thing you know in the wheel yeah the sweep for suspension right yeah the suspension sweeps yeah yeah never mind anyway yeah they don't yeah that's the most expensive thing for the vehicles and I don't think trains do that no so in that regard it's better but vehicles, trains still do, it depends like it really depends because if you have one train that that is huge it's in the like there's there's better purposes right like if you're if you're transporting if you've got a massive conveyor bust transporting a bajillion pieces of aura of varying kinds you know two kilometers long that's gonna be more you know you could you could reduce that down to trains much like much more easily that's gonna perform better and you may even end up having a very similar outcome in terms of your performance depending on how you do it in terms of your production so it all depends on the case however in general for fps the motor vehicles are the heaviest for sure they were never designed for you to have like 30 of them running or anything like 80. as some people have I'm looking at you you know who I'm talking about like there were 80 like factory cars running around and yeah and there are some optimization stuff that we just like don't understand why they've been unticked because so there's stuff to improve there as well but generally they're pretty expensive but I think like multiplayer-wise also because the it might not be when you compare trains and, conveyor belts like big, what's it called yeah whatever a lot of conveyor belts, there's also the aspect of multiplayer where when you're syncing all those belts that's like one of the most expensive things in multiplayer is the conveyor belts so having one train and they're replicating that train alone is better than replicating you know like a bunch of conveyor belts but it really depends, how the setup is
