Humanoid Alien Races

yeah. Obviously nobody sees themselves as xeno.. by definition kind of.

Is it normal for alien races to exhibit xenophobic traits?

@DanZinagri I changed my load order for some performance mods, added several new mods (not race mods), and removed some of mods including race mods (Kiiro + wolfein + moetl) and tick-heavy mods (Rim of Magic, Alpha Gene).

I did go back and see if those race mods are the culprit, but the results are really unpredictable as you say - sometime it spikes and sometime it doesn't, sometime the HAR need post fix spikes, sometimes it's the vanilla pawn need that spikes, and sometime it's the world map pawn tick that spikes (all up to ~200ms per tick which is crazy). I suspect its a complex mod conflict across several mods, but I don't really have the time to pinpoint it. As of now I am sticking with HAR + Cindergarden and it works fine.

Sorry, I was not expectign you to reply so fast! I spawned a ton new pawns and didn't see any of my PawnBio characters and I got worried that maybe I am doing something wrong. My characters do appear in vanilla pool section but I just haven't seen them at all...

uh.. I add them to the vanilla pool of PawnBios, so.. hard to honestly ^^
The criteria is general via backstory tags. so if you use a unique one you can quickly check.

I've experienced the hitching as well, but haven't found any sort of logic behind it. I can go hours without it happening, or within 10 minutes after loading it occurs. I did see one of the performance optimizers put together a "unpatcher" for specifically that method, but i'm dubious if its really the culprit either way.

I am curious @kittyshusky by "change my mod list" do you mean you changed load order or dropped a specific HAR race? I'm specifically curious if one of the HAR races i'm running is the real culprit here.

@kanid99 1st rule of DPA: Don't go to other mods complaining about something you found in DPA. Not cool.
I have also being experiencing tick time spikes from the same call just like you, but the spikes disappeared when I changed my mod list (while keeping HAR), so its not HAR's fault. Check your race mods or mods that add logic or hediff related to needs.

And this is why the analyzer is crap.
Not even the people on dubs call for NeedLevelPostfix... so probably not. Not that they would tell me.

Entirely unclear to me what the analyzer even told you, or how it lead you to the conclusion... or why it thought that would be helpful.
In theory it could be an extremely heavy race mod that does some heavy calculations there for some reason.. yet I doubt it.

You mention pausing momentarily... what do you mean exactly by that ? Do you mean it actually pauses? If so that has little to do with any race mod by itself.
If you mean hitching.. does it happen consistently ? is it regularly or when something happens ?

Ive noticed recently that my game will start hitching (that is, pausing momentarily here and there) and when I used Dubs Performance Analyzer, it showed the culprit as "AlienRace.HarmonyPatches:NeedLevelPostfix" - Im assuming some mod is using HAR incorrectly? Or is this a known bug with HAR currently ?

no premade races. I figured nobody would want that ^^
