Peter Romanov Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 In Creative mode, there's a vertexeater in the "Special" tab. It sounds ominous. What does it do, and what is it for? Is it some kind of tool, or just a unique decorative object?

MKMoose Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Your vertices. Seemingly used for stress testing. As found in game assets: // Eats all your vertices for breakfast code: "vertexeater", ... shape: { base: "block/stresstest", rotateY: 0 }, ...
Nathan Flaminio Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Someone set up us the vertices. All your vertices are belong to us. Make your time.

I'm fairly certain I know what it is and why it exists. 3D models consist of vertices, a cube has 8 points/vertices, these points are essentially coordinates and what your graphics card uses to render a 3D object, the more vertices a 3D model has, the more work it is for your graphics card to render on screen. The 3D model for the vertex eater is a large set of small cubes so functionally it's intended to be the equivalent of a highly detailed Vintage Story block/item/entity. It's intended to "eat up" as much memory on your graphics card as possible, hence the name, the use for this is to stress test the game/engine, maybe in various graphical settings. So, It's likely just a little leftover developer tool, not really of any use to anyone beside people working on the game. 1
