Hey guys,

I made a mod with the main focus of removing clutter, many redundant items and anything that slows down your fps significantly.  I just finished writing it and would like to know how good it works, for different players on different computers. Since people wouldnt play a mod that removes stuff, i did add all the usual things, castes, religion, more enemies, custom workshops, and more...

The whole thing is beta, and if you want to help testing it, pointing out the bugs and telling me if it affects the FPS, it would be a great help.

Thread is here: Download

Thanks

So... it's a mod that removes a lot of stuff, by adding stuff?  So then it's not really an FPS-mod, it's whatever mod you made it to be plus it snips a few clutter items?  And it's posted in the wrong forum section?

The mod looks pretty good, but clutter is not the biggest cause of FPS death. Temperature, cavern/heck pathing and excess stones are bigger. I just modded Fortress Defence to wish clothes out of existence.

E: I'm going to use this with Defence, but what do religions and their electives actually do?

if only we had a mod that would remove pointlessly negative posts and replace them with constructively critical posts.  *cough*

Don't hate the player hate the game. FPS death is a b*tch.

But really, rather pointless negative opinions to yourself. We keep it friendly here in Bay12.

-> points out actual issue in a respectful manner

-> pointless negitive comment

Well, I add a lot of things that do not affect FPS. Religion and Caste, Engravings and custom workshops do not slow the game down.

I remove many things that cause lag, like all the leather, bone and fat catergories. All items made from these mats are just ONE in the list. Bone bolts are bone bolts, no matter if it was cat, dog, cow or goblin bone.

No clothing, no rotten clothing especially, no corpses, vermin and bodyparts can be cremated, stones can be crushed... only about 35% of the original materials left, so 65% less items types to go through...

I just cant tell how much it really does for the FPS, since I have only on computer to test it on. If several people try it out, using different machines, then the test is much more conclusive. I know this is not the mod section, but this is about FPS death. And that belongs here... if we can make some simple changes and create a fortress that runs twice as long, I dont think anyone would complain.

And I do respect girlinhat for all the science she has done, I just expressed myself badly in the first post.

EDIT: About caverns: The mod includes 5 adv. worldgen settings with cavern openess from 85-100, density from 0-10 and water 0-10. This gives you big open cavern, without any mazelike corridors. That should also help fps

Everything you add affect FPS. You can only strike a balance.

Was totally going to download it till you said it added a bunch of stuff.  Any chance of getting an installable version to try out and see if it works on my lagged-out fort?  I mean, you can't really tell if it's helping unless you have something to directly compare it to

Sry, but if you install a mod you have to generate a new world. Thats how it is. I unfortunately cant change that.

upload your fort and I'd see what I can do with it ;p

[nukularpower]

Would but it's already using a mod, LFR :/

Anyways, will give this a shot once I'm done with my current fort/it lags too much to play anymore   It's definately a good idea, not sure why this game needs 8923234 types of leather and 23823847234 more types of cloth.

That's OK, upload anyway.
