Have this mod in zip file to improve load time
Thanks to Pdx being Pdx again,

new horror in hell launcher, is not automatically compressing mod files into zip when uploading mods However, this causes really serious increase in game loading time, for some reason.

I am suspecting that Stellaris Client is actually COMPRESSING all Uncompressed Mod files, and THEN Decompresses it to load it. Sounds stupid but that is reasonable, as you know, Pdx does terrible job...

This mod is very large and compressing this mod takes quite a long time.

I recommend people using this mod to personally have this mod compressed.... but if this mod comes pre-compressed by authors, it would be great.

TL;DR

Mods, especially mods with gfx modifications, must be in compressed form, just like pre 2.4 day's mod structure, to prevent disgusting loading time bug.

I don't think you can pre-compress it, can you?

Please do not spread misinformation. None of this makes any sense, and until someone can produce any proof that it is actually a thing (and I doubt it), I'd ask that you avoid presenting it as some sort of public service announcement n_n

A bit late to the party, but I'll drop it here in case it will help anyone:

If you use Irony Mod Manager and merge your mod compilation using the "compress" option, your game will load A LOT faster.
