[obsolete] Duplicate Animal Remover

Awesome!

@Narlindir I made a new mod that does the same thing https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976985884 and doesnt do any patching, it entirely relies on cherry picker so should be much faster

its proably my age old CPU
or maybe my crappy memory (used to have more then enough, but you know how it goes)
I appreciate you very much for taking your time to answer me :)

@Narlindir I think I got 1 second in vanilla game and 30 with 600 mods. I do have an nvme and 40GB ram, not sure if that matters. That was also a while ago before whatever that new mod is that came out recently and can measure loading times more reliably. The thing is, there are a few hundreds of duplicate animals and currently the mod checks them all regardless of what mods are loaded, which has the benefit of working with local mod copies where mod names can be changed, and I didn't see much loading time impact back when I tested it. But if it actually does take a long time, i will fix it at some point. Thanks for the report!

on startup impact this appears to suck down a rather long time wven tho I have almost no (only 1 I think) mods with animals installed any I idea why?

(I disabled it since it was superfluous with only 1 mod, but wanted to see if there would be issues and for future proofing so to say (dumb I know))

is there a mod out there similar to this, but for weapons?

Neat, guess ill test them later today or tomorrow and let you know how it goes

Updated, there is now Biomes! Prehistoric/Dinosauria/Jurassic Park/Megafauna support. Mod settings are for now a bit cluttered, I didn't have time to fix that, but they work

@ParasiticSquid the patch files that remove duplicates are pretty much done, and I did make a list for Biomes/Dinosauria since downloading defnames and making lists is pretty easy. Dinosauria still has 7 unique ones although there is a high chance it will become 0 as biomes updates.

The hardest part that I am currently doing is removing all other references, for example genetics expanded tends to reference other mods animals and uses their meat/leather. But I am very close to completing it it so I might update today or tomorrow

@test Another duplicate between megafauna and biomes prehistoric is meganeura. I would need to go through the defs to find any others and im lazy so might be a while. You'll likely get to it before I do so no point. But since prehistoric doesn't add any mammals yet and only has a few reptiles it's probably not too many. If prehistoric starts adding mammals which they say isn't in the plans currently guess we'll see if more need to be removed in the future eh?

Now dinosauria on the other hand is a whole other ballgame. Like I said, prehistoric is basically dinosauria's replacement. As a result it practically has all the animals dinosauria does already so kind of defeats the purpose to delete the duplicate unless there's one or two not added to prehistoric yet. Otherwise might as well remove the mod entirely. Saves you time worrying about that at least lol
