That's literally what the game already does. But it can't have all the effects you believe it should have, because there are a lot of events that can change a modifier that would require a recalculation.

Also marking thing as "should_update" (like you called it here) the way you describe it would cause terrible performance issues. You can't mark large amount of pops for an employment update, because employment calculations are some of the more expensive ones to do, and doing it for large amounts of individual pops at a time would cause severe lag spikes.

Oh they finally added that? Nice. The community has been asking for event driven since 2019 so it's nice to know they added it. I'm gonna reinstall

That was always in there, but the degree of optimization varied of course.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

When the community researched the issue back in 21 it definitely seemed like there wasn't any optimization because the monthly load was consistent and the major slowdowns appeared around pop job computing.

We may have been wrong because we were using profilers and decomps, which can lead to bad assumptions, but that's what we saw.
