I wonder Building slot data consume much of database

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to know that the data size of building slot data consumes much of database that roblox will provide for each place or (server/game).
  2. If example i allow player to have a slot of 50x50x50 so approximately there will be 125000 item in each table slot (also each item will have CFrame , color , ,…)
  3. also my game will allow player to have multiple save slot up to (20-30)
  4. so will it be a problem of data size for saving?

Sorry if my english is bad.
Thank!

you can use buffers to serialize data
Roblox will apply some compressions to buffers afterwards automatically.

Here like this but wont it be limit to how many value or string that i can store for each buffer?

buffer.writef64(objectBuffer, 0, CFrame.new(0, 5, 10).Position.X) -- Store X position
buffer.writef64(objectBuffer, 8, CFrame.new(0, 5, 10).Position.Y) -- Store Y position
buffer.writef64(objectBuffer, 16, CFrame.new(0, 5, 10).Position.Z) -- Store Z position
buffer.writestring(objectBuffer, 24, "TreeModel", 8) -- Store model name (max 8 characters)


local xPos = buffer.readf64(objectBuffer, 0)
local yPos = buffer.readf64(objectBuffer, 8)
local zPos = buffer.readf64(objectBuffer, 16)
local modelName = buffer.readstring(objectBuffer, 24, 8)

print("Object Position:", xPos, yPos, zPos)
print("Model Name:", modelName)

I feel like 64bit floats are more than needed for a 50x50x50 grid… Also the maximum buffer size is 1 GiB (1_073_741_824 bytes), however you can’t have that much data for 1 player anyway
