Up to time stamp 9, 3776 cells reduced! :)
Unna, this is a hot tip everyone needs to know about to reduce cell count!!!!

Well done :cheeky:
Yes, this is a trial and error thing.
btw, sometimes rotating brushes also works.
Please check your brushes by each step. You don't want to cut solids accidentally.

The big airbrushes are given such low numbers that it doesn't seem to touch the solids which are processed much later in the time stream.

I'm really glad you've had success with this, Don! It's great to see you excited again and not as frustrated by Dromed.
uncadonego on 22/3/2017 at 02:09
Having Dromed not work for 6.5 years was the most frustrating part! :laff: I'm still re-familiarizing myself at this point!
Addendum: I don't know how much farther I can take this, and I have to stop for now, but through trial and error, I've gone from 32,568 cells down to 26,141 cells.
A drop so far of 6,427 cells. I'm almost in disbelief. I keep thinking something has to blow up soon!

I think he meant to say brushes that occur after that one. If you select a brush you can use tab to move to the next brush.

The limit is 32760 WR cells. You don't have to delete anything to save cells. Just "play" with the time value.
An example: set the surrounding air brush to 1
set the solid (house, whatever) inside the air brush to 2
set the air brush inside the solid to 3
optimize. You just saved 50-100 cells.
Or maybe you don't. Then load the old cow. You can do this for hours/days. Write down the number of WR cells shown in the monolog. In a big map like that, you can save about 3000-4000 WR cells with time time value.
Is this raw cells? During optimization I see cells mentioned three times.

This is more than I expected :)

I'm going to get back to building when I get the chance. I'm starting to run out of ways to re-number and still get good returns. I got it down to 23,800 cells, a drop of 8,785 cells. I should have enough room to breathe now and finish the architecture. I re-numbered 114 brushes in total.
