Micro Optimizer

Report any issues in the Lethal Company Modding Discord! I will be more than happy to fix any issues you find. Its only one person making this mod and I can't really test all the time.

Tired of lag spikes when bringing items to the ship? Use Micro Optimizer!

Micro Optimizer focuses on micro-optimizations not covered by other performance mods. It targets specific bottlenecks that cause stuttering during gameplay.

Features

• Collision Component Caching - Caches PlayerControllerB lookups in quicksand/water triggers to prevent repeated GetComponent calls
• String Allocation Optimization - Uses StringBuilder for scrap value formatting and clock strings to reduce GC pressure
• Component Lookup Caching - Caches NetworkObject lookups during enemy and scrap spawning
• Ship Item Collection - Uses HashSet instead of List.Contains() for O(1) lookups when collecting scrap

Configuration

A config file is generated at:

<game directory>\BepInEx\config\mrbub.microoptimizer.cfg

Available settings:

• CacheCollisionComponents
  Cache PlayerControllerB lookups in collision handlers.
  Default: true

• OptimizeStringAllocations
  Use StringBuilder for string formatting to reduce allocations.
  Default: true

• CacheRepeatedLookups
  Cache NetworkObject lookups during spawning.
  Default: true

Compatibility

Compatible with LethalPerformance and other performance mods. This mod targets different optimizations that complement existing mods.

Installation

Drop the MicroOptimizer.dll into your game's BepInEx plugins folder:

<game directory>\BepInEx\plugins
