Most notably how much information has to be sent to the other machines in the game.
Doors are one where in Mp it is important to remove adjoins to reduce hom.
Textures will slow down the machine you are playing on,
It is better if you can keep the amount of different textures in an area down, and transition slowly to different textures in other areas.
Cogs, don`t sync them with other machines if you don`t have to.
We have some plans to make some net freindly generic cogs for doors and elevators later.
We`ll see whats available in Mots first.
