Sad to see an otherwise good comment end with a misconception. The problems with the performance is much grander than just "teeth rendered but not visible" (https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/ https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/), although I guess it's a illustrative point. Missing LODs and lack of culling are the grander issues.

- Sharlin 3y ago"Teeth rendered but not visible" is just saying "missing lods and lack of culling" in a rhetorically more effective way. I don't think anybody thinks it's the teeth specifically causing the perf issues, they're merely a concrete example.
- dymk 3y agoThe article you linked specifically points out how expensive and unoptimized the teeth are. I'm not sure why you linked it, if it undermines the point you're trying to make?
