How to prevent massive space stations from crashing your frame rate

Kerbal Space Program - Part Welding Plugin - Reduce Part Count On Huge Stations · 8:35 · Video: Scott Manley · Watch at the source

In short: Building enormous structures in Kerbal Space Program can lead to unplayable performance. This video demonstrates how the Part Welding Plugin by Ubio Welding Ltd helps manage complexity.

Scott Manley explores the utility of the part welding plugin, which allows players to merge multiple components into single, composite structural parts. To test the impact on performance, the video shows the construction of increasingly large space stations, pushing the simulation until the frame rate reaches an 'acceptably slow' level.
