      Stellaris is also almost 10 years old with an engine that is, by admission of the devs, coded into a dead end. They customized an older version of it too much and now they can’t get the performance improvements from the newer engine versions into the game.

        They don’t need a new engine, they need to stop calculating every pop every day and start using events to trigger a calculation. E.g. a species modification or changing buildings on a planet.

            I don’t think they’d have to rewrite half. Just the main population update loop. The graphics performance is fine.

      Stellaris is like one of the most simulation heavy 4X games there is. There’s a limit to how good performance you can get when you’re making a complex simulation like that.

      I haven’t played Stellaria in a while, but I don’t remember the performance being bad. If it is it’s not because of any graphical thing that can be improved, but for the same reason Dwarf Fortress runs like shit, i.e. there’s a limit to your CPU power when simulating hundreds of individuals.

        The problem with Stellaris is that they simulate every individual even if nothing changed about them. If nothing changes on a planet or species then they shouldn’t recalculate employed pops.
