Starbound Optimizer
If you ever heard of the Performance mod from GnomeToys than you know what this does.
This mod patches the game to optimize everything i could find and help those who have the game constantly freezing.
Tested with 900 mods (Including Frackin Universe)
– By default this mod sets the threads to 4, if your pc has more than that, then make sure to install the appropriate mod for it, simply search for "thread" in the workshop and you will find it.
If you don’t know how many you have, just check for "Logical Processors", under "CPU" in the Task Manager performance tab.
(Optional) For the full experience you can manually change the following or just leave as it is and starbound will handle it for you:
0. If you don’t know what Fidelity is but played Starbound for a while i can easily make you recognize it, do you know when liquids are falling but they are so slow that you can loop around them and be faster, but then they get fast outta nowhere? Thats not lag, its the Auto Fidelity changing from minimum to high. It affects more than just liquids but its the easiest to notice.
1. Go to the Storage folder and open Starbound.config.
2. Scroll all the way to the end and change "serverFidelity" : "automatic", to one of these:
"serverFidelity" : "minimum",
"serverFidelity" : "low",
"serverFidelity" : "medium",
"serverFidelity" : "high",
Mine looks like this:
"serverFidelity" : "high",
Server Fidelity seems to affect mostly 2 configs:
– How far chunks render
– How fast liquids travel
3. If you didn’t change it yet, then also disable Vsync:
"vsync" : false,
In case you need a backup, here’s the default values:
"serverFidelity" : "automatic",
"vsync" : true,
Credits to GnomeToys for coming up with these changes and sharing them on the forum, i just converted it to a mod, updated and optimized it.
