[2023] Heavy CPU Consumption

Note high CPU utilisation occurs because the game is optimised to use more “cores” on your CPU than games typically do. This is because Stationeers does a lot of simulation, so it is created to use a lot of “threads” on these cores. This is called “multi threading”.

I’ve seen a few threads pop up suggesting the games high CPU usage is because it is not optimised. The reality is that games can be very unoptimised and have low CPU usage. Multi threading is not very common as it creates a lot of complexity.
