Hi! I noticed that nearly every part in my café (5000+ parts) has either a bunch of welds or joints to them. I know how to disable this, but I was wondering if this creates a lot of extra lag?

I never noticed any lag on my game, it has a lot of welds too

This really depends on the device you’re using. For example, a player that uses a great gaming PC will probably never experience lag. However, a less great laptop with a smaller cache might.

It is basic computer science that anything stored on a computer requires data. To load that data, the computer needs to process it.Usually the process is so quick that we hardly notice it. However, lag comes in when your device is visibly slowing down the process because it need to read and write more commands. The answer to your question “Do welds and joints create extra lag?” is maybe. But do note that it will result in a computer needing to do more actions.

They can only create lag if your store is unanchored. If the store is anchored there is no point in having all those welds. Things can get really messy when it comes to organizing when you have a lot of junk in the parts.
I’d suggest running a for loop in the command bar that skims through workspace and deletes all the welds.
for _, v in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Weld") then
v:Destroy()
end
end
Just a fair warning, I wrote this on a phone and you may have to fix any spelling mistakes you see
Make sure you turn off constraints so you don’t get this problem in the future. If you’ll have any projects using welds, I suggest using WeldConstraints instead.
