Fix Frame‑Rate Drops When Using Your Own Trailers Manually

#1 Post by LLBBC » 26 May 2026 18:57

Many players have encountered an issue: annoying minor stutters occur in the game when hauling cargo with their own trailers.
These stutters appear regularly along with in‑game time jumps.The larger the area players explore within the game, the more obvious this issue becomes.

As one piece of cargo disappears from the market upon expiration, a new piece of cargo is generated.The more cargo items accumulate in the player’s cargo market, the more cargos expire at the same time, which consequently leads to game stuttering.

We can resolve this issue by modifying the economy_data file, which can be found in any economy mod. Locate these two lines inside the file.

cargo_validity_min: 1440 # 24 hours
cargo_validity_max: 43200 # 720 hours

These two lines determine the valid time range for newly spawned cargo. We need to expand this range so that all cargo items are evenly distributed across the time span. This reduces the number of cargos expiring at the same time, thus mitigating game stutters. I revised the values to 1440 minutes and 43200 minutes, which corresponds to one day and one month respectively. After making this change, only one or two cargos expire every minute in my cargo market, and the stuttering has disappeared. My settings are for reference only, and you can adjust them to other values as needed.

After editing these two values, save the file and launch the game. Do not skip the most important step: before loading your save, open the console and enter  g_force_economy_reset 1 . This command resets the economy system and forces all cargo to spawn according to the modified time range.

Finally, load your save file. Once you confirm the changes take effect, enjoy the game!
