    91 Add `view.zoom.max = "300" view.zoom.min = "30"` to your `user.cfg` file (see [[GameDataPaths|wiki/GameDataPaths]]). By decreasing `view.zoom.min` you can zoom in closer and by increasing `view.zoom.max` you can zoom out further. The default values of the game are 200 and 50. With a larger zoom max more things have to be drawn, expect reduced performance, especially on weak GPU's.

Rendering, simulation (for example gathering / attacking), and the pathfinder all have an impact on performance.  If you have more units, more things need to be drawn, which affects rendering, more things to calculate for unit activity affects simulation, and larger map sizes cause longer paths, which affects the pathfinder.
