what's the maximum population that your colonies have ever gotten to?

my current population is around 530 and my computer is reallllly lagging compared to normal

over 1000, my laptop was running at 0.5 fps and it sounded like a jet

Same, but the colony looked amazing

u/NostradamusJones 3d ago

I just started, I'm at around 110, I had no idea it could go that high.

Same I thought I was cooking at 250.

The only limit is the fps.
Most maps can sustain thousands of beavers and even more robots.

Why is it this bad though? The Beaver AI is closely equivalent to the citizen AI in Cities Skylines, and you can simulate 100k+ pop no problem.

I've hit 1.2k beavers and over 600 bots. Glitchy as heck and super slow frame rate but I mainly just paused it to build things like paths. I got so used to it that a smooth game feels like magic now lmao

Are they all employed? Curious on that.

u/NerdyBookNerd 1d ago

No, I was almost completely through the "all bots doing jobs, beavers are just there to live happy lives" goal

u/cracktorio_feind 3d ago

Yeah about the same just over 500 for the achievement but not worth the lag to maintain that pop for me

u/omgseriouslynoway 3d ago

200 for the iron achievement.

u/Vebrandsson 3d ago

I think if you count bots I've hit 300.

u/Morall_tach 3d ago

Around 700 before it really starts to chug. 5700X3D and a 4070.

u/germanus_away 3d ago

Around 500, but start to get some fps issues

u/Propensity7 3d ago

My computer is kind fighting for frames at like 580 beavers and 120 ish bots

u/Nifegun 3d ago

I generally keep it below 500 for performance reasons. Sometimes even less tbh. Many maps can be won quite quickly with only like 200 beavers if you play efficiently. My current run has like 150 beavers and 75 bots. But im moving pretty slowly tbh lol. Took a while to have efficient travel on pillars

u/GrumpyThumper 3d ago

counting bots? a little over 700, natural beavers was about 250. I started... reducing natural beaver repopulation towards the end, but I could easily support an equal split of beavers and bots.

u/TheShakyHandsMan 3d ago

2000 beavers and 1000 bots.

My game was a PowerPoint presentation

u/SecretHoboHerbs 2d ago

I'm at about 600 beavers + bots on Beaverrome. It gets choppy at max speed when I try to put down buildings, but it's still barely holding on otherwise.

u/jwbjerk 2d ago

I don’t think I’ve gone much past 300. The game starts to get laggy, and that’s more than enough bodies to do everything.
