Great tracks! Any chance for a 1.6?

Ah geez. A new update, huh? I'll do the same thing I do every update. I'll say I won't update it, and then in about a week or so I'll cave and re-download RimWorld just to make you guys happy.

1.6?

@Justin Bieber when RimWorld launches, this mod adds 10-20 seconds to start up. Once RimWorld is loaded, this mod has no impact on performance assuming you have enough RAM on your machine.

How does this impact game performance?

I have never had a problem with the Linux version of RimWorld. In fact, I have tried out of curiosity, and the Windows version uses a bit more RAM and starts a bit slower. And I don't remember if I have ever had problems with any other game either. Might be a problem with your setup.

But, interestingly, the audio loading problem really does not exist with the Windows version, for whatever strange reason. May be the sole reason why your Linux version uses more RAM.

When I run this mod as Windows version through proton compatibility it uses way less RAM than Linux native version. Also, I just find, in general Linux native RimWorld doesn't run as well as proton. I also remember having some crashing errors with other mods due to Linux native, but I don't remember which ones.
As a Linux gamer, I almost never run games as native Linux. Everything is wine or proton.

Correction: I estimate the memory usage should be about 4GiB, not tens. So maybe the difference is just whether people do or do not have that extra memory? Swap on Unix systems usually has a fixed size, that could explain why people are more like to have a problem on Linux.

Note that RimWorld's audio loading from mods is very inefficient. A mod providing this amount of music presumably leads to allocating additional tens of gigabytes of memory and also increases load time significantly. See https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3385243195 (a mod fixing this).

@Bishop: You probably want to mention that in the mod description.

Also, I'm on Linux. I see in the comments mentions that the memory usage problem might not exist on Windows, although I don't see why it should work differently there (maybe WIndows hides the problem by increasing the pagefile size to accomodate all this?). On Linux I can clearly see memory usage go up from 1.5GiB to 3.5GiB when using P-Music (and I do not dare with this mod). Even if Windows handles it somehow, there still might be the usage with load times (my mod description includes a link to how to find out).

Glad you enjoy!
