lowering the other particleRegionPadding in the client.config seems to help quite a bit with that

@Lukiwarble oh and yes weather in Starbound so laggy XD
FutaraDragon  [author] Sep 15 @ 7:17pm 
@Lukiwarble I do not know about "blockCacheSize" I do not test and touch that setting before

you can lower setting as you like so I already lower that before but people complain about it make some thing do not show correctly so that why I turn back a bit
Lukiwarble Sep 15 @ 10:49am 
i was lowering some settings to fix the massive lag whenever a weather starts for me and lowering that setting made the game so stupidly fast im afraid i broke it
Lukiwarble Sep 15 @ 10:48am 
You know more about this stuff than me so i feel like i should ask you, do you know what "blockCacheSize" in world_template.config is?

@Olyvion depend on your decision if anything better so use it
Olyvion Aug 28 @ 12:14pm 
Thank you for this mod! Also was wondering if you can run other optimizations mods or if it's better to run this only?

@HELVAZI then you do not need to active Skill Menu, you can craft Skill Menu and go to Option > Remove System (the red icon) so that will be all set X3
