Description
What it does and why you should try it

This mod lowers the Foliage Density 2x in order to lower number of object you have to load and thus increase your FPSes
in Addition this specific mod was made with playtests and care (unlike every other foliage mod you can find on steam lmao xD)
so you will not end with blocked gates/doors to NPCes shops or other facilities

By foliage i refer to: Rocks/trees/garbage scrubs/whatever weird elements game sprinkle on the map
Mod was designed to be your only? foliage editor and i don't care how compatible it is with world overhauls/city tweaks or other foliage editors
- if it is, thats great, but don't be too angry if you get some mehs

Additional potentially not-wanted changes
Mod include 2 smaller fixes:
Swamp Monster Performance
which refer to giant branches on the swamp and big green guy that is static object
to lesser impact of performance of these assets in the game of kenshi with minimal visual impact
(only noticable if you have render distances for objects above 6000 in the swamps)
Boulder_Star01 Fix
Small fix to 1 asset that rarely caused crashes
and could cause performance stutter when engine rebound to not crash
absolutely no visual impact, just fix for broken reference

Closure

i mostly was mad at level of quality control of steam mods so i made and tested my own
this mod is nothing special and there are better ways to gain performance:

However its still good, if you are in need of more

I love this mod, my kenshi game is so loaded with mods it goes like a slideshow, this helped by a LOT with loading times and FPS

im happy to see people enjoying the mod, if you still need more performance: try Performance Fix
Happy new year

Thank you. I had to go back to full foliage because I was tired of blocked buildings. Vanilla Kenshi cooks my CPU.

Sweet just what I needed so much smoother thanks

Understood :)
Well, I've done only those 5 tweaks from Perfomance section of the description.
That modlist was too much for me to handle :) haven't even try it
Thanks for the answer also ;)

mod does cut folliage by roughly 50, but its per zone
if you use other mod that does bigger cut or maybe your folliage does not displayed properly or something you might see moar folliage with the mod

in vanilla game alone or normal to playtest modlist things works properly
personally i never use bloated modlists or some unfinished big mods
i like Anrhaa but this modlist is something i would never play not to mention load order adventures with that thing

Unlikely. (:
I've done only Permofance optimization from here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822248814
btw 3 of 5 there are made by you, thank you so much, it really helped :)

I'll re-checked my mods, afaik I haven't any "bald the terrain" ones.

It's actually not a big problem but I was surprised:))
SCARaw  [author] 30 Jan, 2024 @ 10:06am 
maybe you already run other mod that completely bald the terrain from everything?
