Making craft mobile-friendly

Frequently, I come across designs that are astoundingly detailed visually, but run terribly on my system. My computer isn't terribly old or anything, but all those details add up and come at a cost to computer performance. So I can only imagine the frustration mobile users have, trying to get some uber-detailed monstrosity to run on their tablet or phone.

TLDR: What's a maximum reasonable part count for mobile users? I like to make detailed planes, but I don't want to exclude anyone.

    Well the game limits it at 800 parts, I've found on my iPad Air that around 500 to 600 parts starts to get laggy and around 700 parts becomes a little too much lag for me

    Try to keep it:
    - under 200 for gizmo-heavy creations
    - under 300 for general creations (fuselage blocks, some wings, not too many weapons/ gizmos)
    - under 800 for block-based creations like pixel art

    it depends on the tablets system, my tablet can handle up to 500 until I start lagging really bad, but the max is 800 (well that's what you can download) I haven't tested my PC yet though
