RimWorld Performance Booster
What does this mod do?
– Makes RimWorld run smoother and more stable.
– Spreads heavy work over time and uses multiple CPU cores.
– Reduces stutter on large maps and many pawns/plants/effects.
Key features (all optional in settings):
– Needs & visuals throttling: Less work per tick without hurting gameplay.
– Animal/pawn striding: Lower tick rate for far-away or many animals.
– GPU instancing (optional): Fewer draw calls for plants/chunks.
– Memory Guard: Frees caches and runs GC when RAM gets high to prevent out-of-memory crashes.
– Safety guards: Explosion and projectile tick guards to avoid hard crashes from mod conflicts.
– Zones scheduler: Updates distant zones less often and skips during combat.
– “No idle pawns” (experimental, off by default): Gives simple fallback jobs instead of idling.
– Reset button: Quickly restore all settings to their defaults.
Safe to use?
– No new content, no balance changes.
– Can be enabled/disabled anytime.
– "Compatibility safe mode" for maximum stability.
– Requires the Harmony mod.
Tips:
– After changing many settings, a game restart helps.
– If something looks off, enable Safe Mode and report the issue.
– Works with most mods. Conflicts are handled defensively.
Support:
– Please include your log and describe what happened.
– Tell me which mod is conflicting and I will try to fix it.
