Sneak peak to a side project of mine, those a just a little bit submarine savy will be able to guess what it is, but I'm still gonna be subtle about it ;)

In other news, I finally figured out what was causing me problems with my Scinfaxi! Turns out the huge numbers in weight (and likely drag) were what made the game's very functions crap out on me. I discovered this when downloading This Submarine and discovering just out light on computer performance it was, despite its gargantuan size!

Examining it led to my discovery that cutting down the weight big time, along with removing drag and part collisions could make a build FAR less taxing on a device. It can also prevent builder breaking bugs like what I experienced. Thus, the Scinfaxi is officially uncancelled! But, it will be relegated to a side project, nevertheless at some point I will release a fully submersible scinfaxi!

That's all for now.

    Huh, if only I discovered this at the beginning of construction of the Alicorn...
    Well, I suppose that would help me out!

    @randomusername I've seen that! And I'm quite impressed. It goes to show what exactly taxes a device when it comes to builds.
