IAmMoss Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 (edited) I play a pretty heavily modded game on steam deck and i was curious if anyone knew if butterflies could add a significant strain on performance when they spawn. Since they spawn in fairly large quantities it seems If so i was thinking about finding a way to disable them from spawning since i dont interact with them at all. Edited August 27 by IAmMoss
Professor Dragon Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 (edited) Honestly, if you could get a significant adverse performance impact via butterflies, I would be impressed. To answer the question though - Mods! This is an OLD one, but which will probably still work: Butterfly Extinction Event As per the mod notes: Disables butterfly spawning. Does not remove any already spawned butterflies! To remove previously-spawned butterflies: `/entity removebyclass EntityButterfly` IMPORTANT: Read the Comments on this Mod. It will probably address your issue. Professor Dragon. Edited August 27 by Professor Dragon

Since they spawn in fairly large quantities it seems I mean, they shouldn't impact performance, unless there's either a bug in the code or you're trying to play on an absolute potato of a PC. Are you having performance issues? 1
