[SYR] Universal Fermenter

Now replaced by Processor Framework

Processor Framework

A framework for time-based processing inside objects

Universal Fermenter abbreviation: "UF"

So what's different about this version?

Performance

• Issue: Vanilla workgivers scan every thing on every map to find barrels,

• Solution: UF keeps a cached list of barrels which is easily 1000+ times less work to scan through and UF removes the vanilla barrel and related workgivers

• Issue: Every mod that used it's own workgivers and code for fermenting (and similar) added another layer of the same scanning behavior, multiplying the load caused

• Solution: UF also removes workgivers of any other mod that is patched by it

• Issue: Old UF had bad gizmos that updated constantly and for each barrel selected, causing massive FPS drops when selecting more than a few barrels

• Solution: This version of UF uses pre-cached gizmos, loaded on game start, causing barely any impact on the game, no matter how many barrels you select

Player features

Mods that depend on Universal Fermenter (UF) require this mod to work. Mods that implement UF work without it, but self-patch when UF is present, the mod author has to keep these patches up-to-date. Mods patched by UF are patched by UF itself. This means I have to maintain the patches. Whenever the author of the mod changes their mod, I have to get notified and change my patch to it.

If you are using Vegetable Garden and Vanilla Factions Expanded note this load order: [img=https://i.imgur.com/UdyRlwn.png][/img]
