Graphics configuration plus

Simple modes that allow you to make more in-depth adjustments to graphics settings to improve performance or expand the capabilities of standard options.

About what.

This mod started out as a simple mod, allowing you to change graphics settings to improve performance on older PCs, but now it gives you full control over all graphics settings. Note: The default settings are the default values for the game. To see the changes, you must manually edit the settings file or load the settings file from the File tab. This mode overrides Shadow, vSync and Distance/Lod. To change these settings, use the settings file instead of the game menu.

These settings are experimental. There are a lot of settings, and we don't have time to test them comprehensively. If you find any broken settings or have any suggestions, please let us know.

Mode of use.

Unzip the mod to the BepInEx/plugins folder.

Warning: If you are upgrading from versions earlier than 1.1.0, be sure to delete the GraphicsConfigPlus folder from the BepInEx/plugins folder.

Open the game and create a configuration file in BepInEx/config and change the values as you wish, or download the configuration file from the File tab and place it in BepInEx/config.

Note: Changes made to the configuration file during the game can only be applied when you press Home. Keys in the configuration file can be modified.

Configuration file.

A balanced configuration file is used to run the game on the GTX 650Ti at 30 frames per second (fps is locked using the vSync option) with some effects enabled. Shadows were disabled as they were too strong on my old GPU, but with SSAO enabled and some quality changes the game was not too suppressed.

Performance settings are used to play at 30 frames per second (in some cases, up to 20 frames per second) on a laptop with i5 intel graphics. It's not perfect, and the game is a little ugly, but it works wonders.

If you want to increase graphics but not performance, run the game, create a default configuration file and look at these settings: MaxFPS or vSyncCount, ShadowResolution, ShadowDistance, SunShaftsResolution, AOsampleCount and MBsampleCount.

Available options.

General.

Select a hotkey to reload the settings file during playback.

Prints the initial and current configuration values in the BepInEx log.

Enable or disable anisotropic filtering

Set a texture size limit

Set the maximum value. Prerendered frames queued by the graphics driver

Setting particle beam radiation per square

Sets the maximum number of light pixels on an object

Enable or disable real-time reflection probes

Setting the maximum number of bone weights affecting corners

Enable or disable soft mixing of particles

Enable or disable two-pass shaders for terrain vegetation

LOD distance adjustment (even outside the game)

vSync count setting, can be used to enable or disable vSync, and to adjust fps below the screen refresh rate without disabling vSync.

Can be used to set the target FPS and fix the FPS above or below the screen refresh rate without vSync

Shadow

Sets the number of steps for directional light shadows.

Sets the distance to draw the shadow.

Adjusts the quality of the shadow.

Post-processing

Enables or disables all post-processing effects (the game direction is lost, but fps increases significantly).

Solar Shaft Resolution Setting

Setting the Overlay Mode of the Solar Mine (changes the way effects are displayed)

Enable or disable Bloom AntiFlicker.

Turn SSAO Downsampling on or off to reduce effects and improve performance.

SSAO Remote Distance Setup.

Adjust the number of SSAO samples to improve quality and performance.

Turn SSAO high sensitivity on or off to improve the quality of the effect.

Set the anti-aliasing method used between Fxaa and Taa.

Aroma.

Adjusts the intensity of flowering

Adjusts the bloom radius

Adjusts the density of LensDirt

Adjusts solar shaft intensity

Gamma Correction Setup

SSAO Intensity Control

Set SSAO to ambient light only

Adjust chromatic aberration rate

Advanced Settings

Setting the maximum radius of the solar shaft

SunShafts Blur Radius Setup

Adjust the number of SunShafts radial blur iterations (reducing the number of iterations will improve performance slightly)

Install BloomSoftKnee

Configuring MotionBlur Frame Mixing

Set the number of MotionBlur samples

Adjusting the paddle angle of motion blur

Planned improvements

For settings:

SSAO

Motion Blur

Edge Smoothing

Chromatic aberration

Particles

LOD distance optimization

FPS Count

The method of changing the options has been improved. Configuration files are very dense and hard to find.
