how does the mod actually split process to 2×2 cores?
i'm trying to find how it could behave globaly

@Nakashi22 the description says specifically that the 4 thread version is for processors with 8 logical processors and 4 cores. You only have 2 cores and as it says in the description, it won't work for you.

bro frackin universe wiki is full of misinformation

how odd, worked, the npc's dont slow, but everything else got slightly worse. still a positive trade, but its worth noting.

Old "Intel core i5 7th gen" here, the mod seems to make the game worse, the informational application says that this processor has 2 cores and 4 threads

the fact you trust FU explains a lot

placebo effect

efeito Placebo

您💊
The thing is, even in a single player session, the computer acts as both server and client. So the game makes the computer assign a number of logical processors to act as a server, and another number of similar value to act as the client.

All this mod does is change that number for the server from 2 to 4.

TL:DR; Whoever wrote the Frackin Universe wiki doesn't know how things work.

Unfortately, it doesn't work.
"Methods that absolutely never work - Any 'fps improver' and 'thread increaser' mods - these are placebo. They don't work."

"Why they can't work: Starbound mods simply don't have the engine access that would allow them to 'increase threads', etc. Any mod that claims to do so is lying/fraudulent. It doesn't matter how plausible it sounds: they are incorrect or lying."

Starbound isn't Rimworld.

the mod's outdated, and I don't think it's still being worked on considering that it was last updated like 5 years ago

Still only using two
doesn't work at all

works great! ty

does this even work?

Does not work

this is usefull in the latest versions?

Absolutely makes a difference, especially using frackin and several other high intensity mods. Pre mod I was in an alien corrupted world, would have horrible lag killing and moving (even on my high end((well at one point high end)) pc) and with this mod I can kill and attack the 15+ enemy entities no lag or stutter.
keep in mind I also manually changed my server priority, and used various other fixes as well.

It appears to work for AMD (if you have an 8 core AMD CPU), especially since starbound was probably built using and taking advantage of Intel's Hyperthreading (allows it to work on twice as many threads as cores) and the game using twice as many threads as the workerthreadspool value this mod changes.

Also, If anyone checks the requirements, it doesn't actually say anything for AMD.

How do I know if this mod really work?
It seem my game won't using them all but did go over to 3 thread
tho still lagging and freeze time to time

Doesn't work, ryzen 3 1200

i7-10700k

dont work for me

there is not that much a boost does this mod still work?

thank god thank you best mod ever

Welp, worked perfectly for me, no more lag, the game is much faster, thank you very much for your work :D

Doesn't seems to be working. Only 1 of my 16 threads are being used when I play Starbound

My CPU has 4 cores and 8 threads. Which one of your mods would you recommend me?

This dosent seem to help much for my my 4 thread intel cpu

I have a problem. I install this and the game runs perfectly, but after I quit and come back later, it runs in this weird pseudo-powerpoint mode where it drops every 3 out of 4 frames and gives me eyestrain

this mod made me discover that amd and intel counts cores differently. amd counts logical cores and intel counts physical ones

is it still working?

So wait what if you only have 4 cores should you go for 4 cores or should you have to only be able to use 2 cores?

I have an I9, 8 core and 16 threads, the game take 1 thread at 130% clocking and 100% use and cause over heat and unbearable fan noise (with liquid cooling)...
This is not the " lag " the problem, I would like a better distribution of CPU usage

This does not seem to work. I have a 4 core, 4 threaded i5-4590 and I see no difference in CPU usage or fps with this mod on or off.

Where has this been all my (last three years of) my life? I've searched many times for lag-reducing mods. Thank god I stumbled across that video...

what version of the mod do i need to use with my processor (AMD FX-8320e) this or one of the others.

Threads and processes aren't the same thing; I don't know why Chrome insists on having over 9000 different instances, but processes can have any number of threads while only appearing in the task manager once.

is there a fix for the problem when starbound only uses 1 thread? this mod seems to do nothing on my system. still only one istance of starbound in the taskmanager

Well, this mod made me aware what my system parked 2 cores without my knowledge, so even if this doesn't work, thank you anyway.

Well okay it's not awful but I find 30fps difficult to play in a mouse-controlled game because it basically causes input lag and that's not acceptable

I don't think this works with 1.4; even with this mod installed, my CPU usage still caps at 50% (i have 4 cores) and godawful fps

Note for everyone: If you have an issue with SB only using 1 core, SB is supposed to use 2 not one and therefore theres an external issue that this mod wont fix.

Starbound is already 2 thread, read the description lol

2 thread version pls

Am here to confirm that my game load much faster. normally it take like forever to load but after sub to this am like load speed x200% and the game load all mods with just only like 20 sec or something. this is awesome

The mod doesn't seem to change anything for me, but after I disabled hyperthreading in bios, the game seems to run better and total cpu usage goes up substantially (from 90-100% on one thread and almost nothing on the other 7, to around 70%+ on all 4)

Maybe someone here can do something with that information lol

win10, quad core cpu, FU and a couple small mods

I've seen Starbound go as high as 50% CPU (for my rig, that means 3 cores) with this mod, but only for very brief periods... usually it maxes out around 16-20%.

Had no effect on lag in my game (and yes, I was using the correct mod version).

Not sure what went wrong, but game is still bullying single core for me. Get my thumb up anyway.

This mod didn't help me with my single-player latency spikes on LInux. The mod did apparently do something. There are normally a bunch of threads, including two called "WorkerThread". With the mod, there were instead four of these WorkerThreads. In my case, those WorkerThreads were at the bottom of the list, in terms of CPU utilization. And, with or without the mods, the spikes looked exactly the same in the game.

Singlehandedly addresses all my most serious problems with the game. Thanks for sharing it!!!
