Great game it has an incredible building system even with all of these mechanical parts moving there's no lag but has a verry steep learning curve but once you learn its very fun.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If anything, it seems to be rather well optimized and running smoothly, even interactions between the titular gears happen (as far as I observed) reliably.
