Can someone explain why is this happening?

Hy guys!
I'm new to Algodoo, but after some building, i still don't know why, some high speed opject (like a bullet) fly through blocks or the wall of the barrel. I realized, changing the density works, but sometimes i have to change it to like 100000. Is it the mass, that matters? or the difference in density?

That's because of high speed and low sim frequency.
Try to increase sim freq in config menu or decrease bullet speed. Density not affect that.

Ah, i see. But i heard that Algodoo calculates more accurately on objects higher in mass. And if i increase sim frequency, it requires more resources from my computer, right?

Yes, you right. So if your scene has many objects or complex scripts 100Hz is a good balance.
