I just use the 'Stop that dam flicker!' mod with 'FPS friendly ancient portal'
But this is really clever.

for some odd reason the portal still lags for me, even with this mod. maybe another mod fiddles with it? no idea.

Unfortunately, this mod became obsolete after the 1.4 update.

Idk if only this mod is causing problems for me. But I have alot of mods in my starbound. and when I unsubscribed it stopped breaking... so this mod might have a bug. Idk but it might just it being interfering with some of the mods.

animated objects as well as NPCs lag everyone's game. Maybe you should take the time to make certain objects still images to reduce lag?

The highlight is what causes the most lag, if there is a way to stop that from happening there would be significantly better frames. I usually just keep my cursor below the gate, so it doesn't highlight anything; as long as you stand directly in front of Esther, you can still talk to her that way.

99% of game, 60-55 fps. portal part of game, 5 fps

WOW

most laggiest object to exist in a game ever
necrotv 26 May, 2018 @ 9:23am 
good
NovaGamingBird 12 Mar, 2018 @ 2:29am 
this mod does freeze the gate but for some odd reson the lag is still exactly the same :/
egigoka 5 Mar, 2018 @ 7:21am 
Because I have nearly 1 fps in front of that gate, but usual 30-60
silkweaver 16 Feb, 2018 @ 2:00pm 
why
CaptainCrazeh 10 Jan, 2018 @ 3:24am 
Is this mod fully able to be uninstalled without destroying the files?
DemonX3 9 Jan, 2018 @ 7:50am 
Well, without this mod "The Destroyer" is more like "The Destroyer of Frames"
Now it's just "The Destroyer"
Pyrelancer 21 Dec, 2017 @ 8:28am 
You think the devs would of fixed this issue by now, but nooooo...

Hopefully this keeps my PC from detonating whenever I go near it now.
Leah 29 Nov, 2017 @ 5:02am 
so my comp whont berst into flames any more?
Chenor 21 Oct, 2017 @ 9:55am 
I always found it funny that mods like Additional weather, that adds a type of weather that looks like a light show, could cause no lag but a single gate could lag my pc so much. I mean, they fixed the screen-tearing issue that murdered me, but the gate? come on.
Arcanilumia 30 Aug, 2017 @ 5:36pm 
@Soulcast i would like that too, maybe add a feature where you can toggle the gate from being able to go thru it or not? Also i have a request: can you make the portal close when you make a new character? Thank you!

Ice cold
Null_Error 2 Jul, 2017 @ 7:38am 
Yeah, this thing still causes tons of lag if you mouse over it. Could something be done about that? Because it seems strange that something that's essentially just a fancy one-way, one-destination teleporter is so laggy.
Corpse 17 Jun, 2017 @ 2:56pm 
I love the door
warmainiac 1 May, 2017 @ 4:35pm 
this mod only improves my fps when around the portal ONLY IF my cursor is not hovering over it
21 25 Feb, 2017 @ 12:47am 
Amazing!
I don't understand why this makes me lag so hard, like sure.
My pc isn't hard but
It's just alot of moving pixels.
Orrad 21 Feb, 2017 @ 9:17am 
YES! This was the problem on my computer!
Soulcast 15 Feb, 2017 @ 4:53pm 
Have you attempted at making it where the texture for the gate is just closed, with all the dots alight? That'd look a lot nicer.
Fenra 30 Jan, 2017 @ 5:45pm 
lol im running it on an actual pc now, but before i was using a laptop and it was beautiful, though that was before giraffe came out for stable
Tristan.Misten 30 Jan, 2017 @ 4:12pm 
Yeah. Im reading a modding manual as we speak and my goal is to evantually mod the game. Im stuggling making a test mod... Let's see who end's up making the mod first haha!
aww  [author] 30 Jan, 2017 @ 4:09pm 
im gonna try to make a mod that just gets rid of the particle effects, since my sh!t-top can barely run 10 fps. it might take a while though
Tristan.Misten 30 Jan, 2017 @ 4:03pm 
You probably have a bad computer. Starbound is horribly optimised and even a simple particle effect lowers the fps.

I wish somone would make a mod to tone down these effects Hint. Hint
Fenra 30 Jan, 2017 @ 3:44pm 
honestly, any structure lags me an absurd amount, including the little building underground and anywhere with npc's
Fenra 30 Jan, 2017 @ 3:41pm 
yeah. and by ship i mean the player's ship. its lag hell for me
aww  [author] 30 Jan, 2017 @ 3:41pm 
By ship and planet portals you mean the ones on the starter planets and the outpost?
Fenra 30 Jan, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
PLEASE look into one for the ship and planet portals. i love this game but i cant play bc its too laggy. HELP
aww  [author] 15 Jan, 2017 @ 3:30pm 
I'll look into removing the fog and possibly the snow/wind particles.
It'll definitely be harder to make than this mod though.
Tristan.Misten 15 Jan, 2017 @ 2:52pm 
Also is it possible for you to make a mod that removes the fog and stuff on those planets? for example the fog and those dark cold planets really run the fps
Tristan.Misten 15 Jan, 2017 @ 2:51pm 
Yeah this game is optomised so poorly. to bad I just finished the game
aww  [author] 15 Jan, 2017 @ 2:07pm 
Holy shit 2k subscribers this is a new record for me.
Not 15 Jan, 2017 @ 9:34am 
thank you
HaxoFelyne 15 Jan, 2017 @ 4:24am 
Thank you so much!
Unwittingrabbit 14 Jan, 2017 @ 8:31pm 
Thanks m8, I mean I have a really pc but that gate though. You are a godsend.
bootstrap925 14 Jan, 2017 @ 5:35pm 
Aka the
Freeze that goddamn frame dropper.

Mod lindo <3
Tri-Enclave President CEO 13 Jan, 2017 @ 9:38am 
Ah thanks for making this, I don't visit the gate too often but whenever I do a get a medium lag spike, so this helps quite a bit.
Totalrock 13 Jan, 2017 @ 5:27am 
420/69 would kill lag gate again
Malico 12 Jan, 2017 @ 9:40am 
I got it working! I just had to unsubscribe and resubscribe. I think ny connection went out for a bit or something. Anyway, thanks for making this, that lag was so annoying!
BlueLeafy 12 Jan, 2017 @ 3:41am 
Thanks for this! I hate having to go talk to Esther after I've opened the portal for the awful lag.
Pinky 12 Jan, 2017 @ 2:07am 
i like this mod peacuse my fps is 23-30 at the portal... with this mod my fps is 45-57
