# vfx-capacity-short

> Talos next · Since next

A `*.vfx.json` emitter's `capacity` is under the slots it can ask for at once: its spawns per second at each param's maximum (`perMetre` at 30 m/s) times its longest life plus a tick, and its bursts. A spawn into a slot still alive is dropped with no message, so the effect reads thinner than written. Raise `capacity`. Warning: see SEVERITY.
