reset voxel

will help server performance? just trying to under stand the effects of one out side the obvious.

 

It will, but how much impact it will have on an individual server depends on the activity, user count and hardware. It's main affect will be on the amount of memory used to store the data, not so much on the processing power. As in most cases CPU usage is more limiting than memory capacity, it's not easy to tell whether it will make much difference.

 

Loading the game would be faster, but if it's a Server, all the underground bases will be filled with Rock again and all the harvested resources will be back again.

 

No, not any more, there is now the option to reset voxels in a sane way with regard to the presence of grids, even on planets.

 

Oh, cool. Didn't see that till now.

 

Yes, it was just one of the thirty-six "New Features" listed in the three-hundred-plus lines of the update announcement, you would think that something with such a huge potential benefit to server operators would have had more coverage... maybe they talked about it on one of the thirty or so other social media places that things get randomly announced on ?
