Performance Mods List

This repurposed RimPy mod list entry was manually edited in order to add links for currently released github repositories, as well as some additional descriptive information. All of this information was found on Dubs Mods (https://discord.gg/Jxzsaht). I cannot possibly recommend that discord highly enough!

Local mods that were not found in the Steam database are marked as yellow labels with packageId in brackets.

Mods that I have added to the official list, as well as my reasoning, are marked with green labels.

Mod list length: 25

  1. Prepatcher
  2. Harmony
    There is a new version of Harmony in the works which might change the loading order... I'll update this list as needed as soon as I learn more.

3. Faster Game Loading (https://github.com/Taranchuk/FasterGameLoading) {packageId: taranchuk.fastergameloading}

  1. Visual Exceptions

5. Core {packageId: ludeon.rimworld}

  1. Better Log - Fix your errors with style

7. Performance Fish (https://github.com/bbradson/Performance-Fish) {packageId: bs.performance}

There is a new version of Performance Fish in the works that adds an additional dependency but works EVEN BETTER... will update as I learn more

    In conjunction with the DDS texture conversions available in RimPy or RimSort, this allows Rimworld to load DDS textures, improving load times and graphics card performance.

This fixes the broken log publisher in HugsLib.

18. No Reasons To Avoid Mothballing(updated)

Indirectly boosts performance by allowing the game to mothball most world pawns.

Indirectly boosts performance by reducing map clutter and preventing corpse blossoms.

  3. Dubs Performance Analyzer
    A fork for DPA is available that, among other things, fixes a small bug when displaying Harmony Transpiled Methods in the analyzer

Suggested Mod Managers

Both of these mod managers are external applications that automatically sort your mod list for you. They use proven mod sorting methods that are reviewed and edited by the community to ensure they work properly. Using either of these applications, it is no longer a trial and error process to add new mods and the old mod sorting guides are no longer relevant.

Importantly, both mods also have functions that can be used to convert all .png files into .dds format. Graphic Settings+ can then allow Rimworld to load the new textures, saving load time, system resources and TPS.

  1. RimPy Mod Manager Database
    Subscribe to the RimPy database, and use the link in the mod description to download the actual RimPy app. Do not include the database in your active mod list, it will only take up system resources. You subscribe to the database only to ensure that RimPy get community sorting rules updates through Steam as needed.
  2. RimSort An open-source alternative to RimPy that can be more readily updated by maintainers in the community. Don't get me wrong, RimPy is awesome, and all credit to the original author, but he is often unable to perform maintenance due to circumstances beyond his control.
