Mod «Multi-Threading Pawns» for Rimworld (v1.4 - 1.6)

Improve tick time and FPS by safely offloading enemies/mechanoids to background sampling with main-thread application. Designed to keep gameplay behavior identical while smoothing spikes. Can be used alongside other performance mods (e.g., RocketMan).

• Safe scheduling for enemies/mechs: background sampling & budgeting, main-thread execution to smooth spikes
• Main-thread queue de-duplication + priority: prioritize critical actions, merge duplicates
• Dynamic adaptive budgets: auto-tune sampling/callback/hash interval by frame-time (no longer overwrites your saved settings)
• Enemy prioritization: assault/close-range/aggressive states get higher priority
• Lighting optimization: debounce + batched dirty updates, precomputed attenuation LUT

• Aggressive changes; recommended to test on a new save. Mid-save add/remove can be risky
• If you see red errors or odd pawn behavior, disable and roll back
• If settings exist, tune gradually and observe stability/perf impact

• Intended to work with most content mods
• Potential conflicts: mods that heavily patch Pawn Tick, AI, JobDriver, work assignment, pathing/thinking systems
• Other performance mods may stack or interfere; test in your setup

Gains depend on CPU cores, colony size, workload, and other mods. Parallelization has overhead; not all scenarios see big improvements.

• Avoid aggressive settings with heavy AI/Job mods; disable experimental features first if issues occur
• In extreme cases, minor behavior desyncs may occur; rollback and attach logs if needed

Typically after most content mods. If conflicting with deep AI/Job mods, follow their guidance or choose one.

The mod requires: Harmony.
