Hope it helps anyone!

I would go insane without this Mod. PLEASE update it to V1.5 ...

waiting for update

1.5?

Will you update for 1.5 soon?

went from over 100MB to just 7MB... holy shit thumbs up

Great mod. I tried compressing one of my uncompressed save files for funsies and it went from 180MB to just 4MB. Then I found this. Thanks!

Use this with my Savegame Shrinker, and you’re golden :o They work great together. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2978713095

@jessefjxm, you can re-enable pretty pretting in the mod's settings.

Really powerful mod. Only problem is: compressed xml makes it super hard to formating.

How is it incompatible anyway? I'm not sure how modmatch window mods change breaks save game handling.

@RowanSkye, most likely not, but you can try.

Is this compatible with ModDiff?

nice

Updated for 1.2 and 1.3

it work fine as 1.1.
But pls, update to 1.2..

Similar 1.2 compatible mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1645654704

1.2 please!

1.2?

Will this be getting an update to 1.2?

Unless you're still using the same HDD you used with your i486 PC, then it's definitely faster. :)

@Lexa486, only saving will be faster. When you're loading the calculations to restore your map and everything in it is orders of magnitude more time consuming than file access.

Does this also result in shorter save/load times?

Nice work

u read the description right? u can deactivate the mods function at anytime.

do what? Toggle it on for normal, it behaves weirdly, toggle it off, see if it's still wierd (So we can know if it's your mod without having to use 7zip"
then, go back to being compressed (Basicly, for debugging, making sure it's not the compression causing the issue)

but, only affect that world!

Then, the other is so when you un-install this mod, the worlds all auto un-compress, so you don't have to use 77zip and do them all

@CTH2004, I don't know why you would want to do that.

okay, here's an idea: A menue that let's you choose wich worlds to compress, and it will decompress ones that aren't supposed to be compressed!

Basicly, set it to be on by default, but custom per world

Then, for de-comp, would it be possible to have it where when you un-check it, and re-start rimworld, it stops the closing, un-zips them, then let's the restart commence?

@tiagocc0, now it works together with Better ModMismatch Window.

Oh nice, thank you :)

@pumacatrun2, it is compatible. RimSaves stores its additional data outside of the save files, in a new folder structure. That's way it is very compatible with other mods, and you can add and remove it at any point. RimSaves is very well scripted.

I'm guessing this would be incompatible with RimSaves?

Ok, got it!

@tiagocc0, Better ModMismatch Window implements their own [github.com] save game parser, and doesn't use RimWorld one's. My mod only patches RimWorld's loader. If you have loaded both mods together, you cannot load any compressed save games.

About the Better "ModMismatch Window" incompatibility, does it cause errors and can't be used together or just some minor issues and can be used together?

@Revolus Ok, thanks for the answer!

@Mistletoe The Bard, you can always decompress the file using 7zip. Notepad++ contains an XML pretty printer. Or you can disable compression and enable pretty printing in the mod settings to get an ordinary save file.

Does this mean that we won't be able to edit our save file mid game with this mod though?
