I am experiencing the same issue. My performance is not quite single digits, but it gets in the 20s and sometimes even 10s, and i can run large 3d games at 150 - 200. Its strange and i dont think this is an issue on our side. The only thing i could think to say is play in fullscreen not windowed as that will give you the best performance.
I am playing in fullscreen, I've turned off all the things that could lead to lag. I am averaging around 3 fps ingame. My (shitty) hypothesis is that it's because of the language the game runs on, either that or it is something bloating performance.
Hi! Are you running on a Mac? M1/M2 has terrible performance right now because it's emulating x86_64. This will be fixed eventually with an official JPackage ARM release: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8310589 (and if not ready in time, I'll have to find a way to build Aarch64 binaries)
I don't have an M1/M2 to test with yet but I've heard running the desktop jar directly using an Aarch64 JVM can increase performance up to 10x. Some peeps on our Discord are exploring a solution.
I'm not happy with the performance yet, there's a lot more to do in future releases, but am generally trying to avoid premature optimisation. I expect to get performance up by 1-3 orders of magnitude before EA (this is still an Alpha!). Please watch this space, performance is important to me!!
Thank you for sharing! It sounds like that's an integrated graphics card? Adaptory doesn't play well on integrated graphics yet (see the readme.txt), but will be in the future.
I was recommended your game on steampeek and couldn't help but to notice that your game is quite similar to Oxygen Not Included. I would think nothing about it, but you have not mentioned said game on your steam page nor on your itch page. I think it would be better to mention it at least once or (even better) try to make your game more separate.
Thank you, Arlennn! I've never heard of Steampeek, thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely update the Steam page with your feedback, and yes, Adaptory is going to be quite distinct to Oxygen Not Included as we add more systems and content :)
Cute, colourful, well thought out and I think, even if that's not really my style, the game has potential. I certainly haven't seen everything yet, I'm curious to see what else there is to discover and what's to come! :)
Can't believe how much you did to the game over the past months. My itch feed showed 99+ notifications and when I got reminded of your game by seeing one of your past updates on there I HAD to come back and take a look.
I never thought you'd continue to work on it long-term because it was so good already at the time I checked it out.
Am I mixing things up: Wasn't this done for a Jam and your wife drew the art quite in a hurry? Slap me if I am wrong, please, I am only 15% sure atm :D
You blew my mind - you came so far!! Really proud of you

Is there something I'm running wrong? performance seems to be weak and the FPS is in the single digits, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong on my end.

i reckon its just poorly optimised

There is a problem when I delete an object it sometimes crashes on mac and also thank you for the steam key :)
Thank you! Yes I think I've fixed this crash in the next version coming out soon :)

Thank you, Jen! 😊
