RimWorld Optimization: Mods and Settings to Improve Performance (20-60 FPS)
This video offers a guide to optimizing RimWorld's performance, especially useful for players with less powerful computers. It focuses on mods that improve FPS and adjustments to system settings to optimize RAM and cache.
1. 🛠️ Introduction to RimWorld Optimization and Recommended Mods
- ✅ The video focuses on optimizing RimWorld for computers with limited resources.
- ⚠️ The Rocket Man and Performance Fish mods, popular optimizers, are not currently available for version 1.6.
- 💡 It is recommended to use mods that, although not as powerful as the previous ones, help improve performance.

2. ⚙️ Specific Mods to Optimize Performance in RimWorld
- Performance Optimizer: Adds performance settings to the game. It is recommended not to modify the cache configuration or the accelerator without prior knowledge.
- Optimization: Meats - C# Edition: Improves performance in large colonies by reducing the update frequency of pawns. Activate the experimental "World Object Sticks" function to further reduce the update frequency of faction pawns.
- FPS Stabilizer: Increases FPS by raising the minimum allowed FPS to 60, reducing the number of ticks processed per frame. Limit the FPS between 40 and 50 (or 30-40 on less powerful PCs) to avoid sacrificing too much performance.
- Optimization: Leathers: Reduces the types of leather and meat, decreasing the game's load when processing environmental information.

3. 💻 System Optimization: Configuring Virtual Memory in Windows
- ✅ Access the advanced system settings through the computer's properties.
- ✅ Adjust virtual memory to improve performance.
- ✅ Uncheck the option for automatic management of the paging file size.
- ✅ Set a custom size:
- Initial size: Amount of RAM in MB (e.g., 32 GB = 32768 MB).
- Maximum size: Twice the initial size.
- ⚠️ It is crucial to have enough free space on the C drive, as it is used to store the RAM cache.
- ✅ After configuring, apply the changes and restart the computer.

4. 🧹 Freeing Cache Memory with RAMMap
- ✅ Download RAMMap from Google.
- ✅ Run the version corresponding to the system architecture (32 or 64 bits).
- ✅ In the RAMMap interface, go to "Empty" and select the following options in order:
- "Empty Working Set"
- "Empty Standby List"
- "Empty Priority 0 Standby List"
- ✅ This frees up RAM used in the cache.

5. Mod Order and Final Recommendations
- ✅ Proper mod order is important for game stability and performance.
- ✅ Use RimPy or RimSort to manage and sort mods. Tutorials are available on the channel.
- ✅ The video emphasizes that the absence of Rocket Man and Performance Fish requires alternative optimization methods.
