I been thinking of a method to create less bricks into a service and still have the game run properly but I been wondering if InsertService is better or worse than Instance.

I feel like InsertService is like putting in free models, it will put a strain on the game the more you add items this way. Another idea is using Instance by rewriting all the bricks locations and size, everything instead which I believe would be more efficient but require more work.

This is something I need to learn instead of using the Clone from Lighting.

Why would you use insert service instead of lighting?

And, as far as I know, these inserted models have to be free - meaning that everyone can take it.

@Jobro, If the game Creator owns the model then you are able to Insert it.

I don't want to use Clone from lighting anymore because it's because it uses up too much space if you're going to have about 10-20 large or medium sized models of about 5,000 parts total. This can save room using Instance and/or InsertService and right now I'm trying to figure out which of the two is faster and better for the global server.

Well, you can't use Instance.new() to create models so..

by models I mean completely built maps, like you can with InsertService.

There's a way around that I used for local players, I created a Model object I took grouped bricks and placed it into Lighting and cloned it and sent the cloned bricks to the group object.

So for instance I can try that if it's optional.

Yeah, that's just cloning a model, that's not Instance.new(). If you have huge models, use InsertService() so you don't have to keep them in the game.

Alright, I'll use InsertService instead, thanks.
