I love this mod, but I stopped using it for a while because of how hard it hit my performance after a few years in game. I noticed a lot of comments expressing a similar issue with performance, so I thought I'd what helped me. But before you do this, consider generating a performance report for The Word-Mule so they can see what's going on.


After that, look up RuntimeGC by user19990313 and add that to your mod list. It's safe to add/remove mid game. What it does is provide tools to remove unnecessary data, like random dead raiders, while preserving world pawns that are relevant to your colonists. I found cleaning up the world pawns helped quite a bit with my performance, as well as using a smaller map.

I'm not a modder or expert, but I thought someone else might find the info useful!
