Whilst Robustin hasn't got the best reputation as a coder, we can't deny that what he's doing here is fantastic in every way. This is a thread in which you can let him know you're watching him working that code like bread dough.
He's even optimising atmos code, the madman.
I'm working on overlays now, which are the real performance killer when the servers get busy, but its even more of a headache than atmos - which at least tried to follow predictable rules.
Keep in mind I am not a coder by education or profession, so its really nice to get positive feedback like this after trying to figure out even basic code for years.

You do have an admirable ability to think around a problem with the code though

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Hey there, I'm Virescent, the super evil person who made the stupid appeal and didn't think it through enough. Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.
[20:26:02]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Welp. It was just a prank bro isn't a very good excuse when it comes to unprovoked nonantag murder, but since this is your first time doing it and you seem to understand the problem instead of a bannu I'm just going to leave you with a warning. Please PLEASE don't do this again in the future, as funny as crackhead broken bottle memes can be. Alrighty? Do you have any input on this?
[20:26:39]ADMIN: PM: [censored]->[censored admin]: Alright, no problem. I have some input. Fuck my boy pussy.
[20:27:06]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Okay then. Have fun.
[20:31:29]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Excuse me?

The results of my improvement are... indescribable. Overlays, human overlays especially, were by far the greatest source of lag known to our servers. They completely overshadowed even atmos for processing consumption on Midpop+ servers.
I picked up and put down a PDA in the dorms ~125 times (one overlay update for dropping, one for picking up) and gave the code a 50% chance to use our current method and a 50% chance to use my test method:
Current Overlay Code => 1120ms (133) (avg:8.4210529327392578)
My code wasn't some exotic change, 99% of it is identical to how we do it now (which also has room for improvement), but all I did was change a couple operators at the heart of the code and its magical.
While I often badmouth Robustin for some of his balance decisions, I have to say that seeing him work on speeding up how the game processes things to remove the FREE LAG is something I enjoy seeing.
