Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Thanks for doing the testing! It's nice to have internet access back.So true. This mod was released after I've stopped playing previous version and it' such a delight to have it now. I daresay this is must have QoL feature mod.
Yeah, this is probably me. Could you upload one of the larger saves for me? I'm not sure where to start diagnosing something like this.Sure I will. I have just checked and thx to the tidy way you pack stuff in XML I was able to locate ur stuff and check the size. Out of the 270mb of campaign.xml 247mb are indeed taken by your mod.
Well, you could try to open up the xml in some kind of editor that can handle files this big, and see if anything jumps out as taking up a lot of the file, but that could be pretty tricky to figure out.Notepad++ can handle it but I'm not sure I'll be able to find the issue. It's not like each mode is putting it's own stuff in a separate big block
Beyond that, yeah, testing with combinations of mods would be the way to go. Probably fastest to do half the mods (aside from the utility mods) at a time, so that you can tell which half of the mods the problem is in, and then progressively narrow it down from there. Still quite a bit of time/effort, though.Yeah going halves each time is the fastest way but it took me liek 7 days to bloat it this size on single playthrough... spending another 5x7daays cycles just to track bloating mods (would be progressively harder if there are several of them) would just suck any fun of the game
Thx! On my next playthrough I'll try without that mod coz save bloating is a pain. Also just by looking at the list of mods I have enabled - do you see any other suspicious ones?... I THINK I've heard of a mod causing save bloat issues (Vayra's sector I THINK). ...
And that might be a good one to start with as just a one-off...
... oh, wow! Yeah, this is definitely not normal-looking; as Midnight says, this looks like it's likely a save bloat bug in one of the mods you're using.Any ideas how can I identify the mods causing save bloats? Apart from playtesting various mod combinations which could take like eternity =)
Holy S***! I've NEVER seen save files that big! I THINK I've heard of a mod causing save bloat issues (Vayra's sector I THINK). But yeah, I'm pretty sure the shear sizes of those saves is what is taking you so long to save your gameYup... I kind of understand that the problem is in the sheer size =( And yes I do have "Vayra's sector". Are there any other mods infamous for save bloating?
Just to confirm, you've got savefile compression turned on via settings.json? It might actually be faster with that turned off, especially if you've got an SSD, since disk writes are cheap and compressing a large savefile is less so.Yup, save file compression is turned on via settings.json:
