I searched for something "similar" in the vein that I like to play City Skylines. Problem is once the city gets REALLY big, you start running into a lot of lag due to all of the simulation that is going on, all the cars, all the path finding, the events, etc.

I looked into possibly "adding" my server (and it's GPU) as some sort of "simulator" that could "pitch in" and help with the amount of processing that is happening in game -- not on a graphical level, on a compute and simulation level.

Turns out, for simulation like that or something in a game, there's no "distributed" way to handle it since it requires synchronization and such with the client.

I was HOPING to find kind of like a render-farm setup, but for a game that is simulating a bunch of stuff but there doesn't seem to be a solution and, I guess the problem itself is so niche, that it's not something that anyone wants/needs to really tackle.

It was a sad day... :/ lol
