Water Optimizer

Mod improve performance of water and water effects in the game of kenshi, mod use technology of PSO and adapt it for Water :)
Mod also adapt the references
its important to note that results of the mod are humble due to majority of files involving water ware already DDS
So what was changed:
- All textures looks as before
- Static Water in most places have easier to render texture format
- Rain drops on water
- Water collapses and waves when people walk in it
MOD IMPROVE SWAMP AND WETLANDS PERFORMANCE! (duh)
Gain comes from pairing references with the converted files

my mod don't care about compressed texture project, you can keep it or remove it
this mod does not relate to compressed texture project in any way

Quite reverse, mod decompress textures if this sounds easy xDD
So your Graphics card take the textures and calculate them into display ready format
if by some magical reasons your textures would already be in perfect Display ready format
your graphics card could spend less time calculating and more on keeping up with demands

My new texture universally fit to the mesh regardless of how big or small pool of water is, Camera angle and distance from the player is adapted instantly which normally you had your GPU having to do all of this
Mod is quite revolutionary for the game (we call it industry standard in modern age) and honestly at this point good looking performance is a choice, this mod is just one more step towards getting it

Mod does not require any post-subscribe work, mod include files intended to be included in more drastic release
but said release was transformed into PerformanceFix on nexus...file remain for sake of open format of the project
in case if someone would like to take inspiration in my work or trials
