Even MORE Optimized JSON!

Description
What does this do?


This mod simplifies all JSON-encoded files in the game to reduce file size, which theoretically should provide a smoother gaming experience.


How is this more optimized?


I found many files in the game to have many comments, redundant formats, but by using jsmin and minify, I was able to reduce their size to 57% of the original.JSON files basically encompass everything in the game that you would consider a "feature," from items to AI behavior logic, from map generation to dungeon distribution. These large JSON files have been significantly reduced in size to speed up their loading time.


Compatibility?


In theory, this mod shouldn't cause any major conflicts, but it does replace all of the game's JSON files, so please report any issues if you encounter them.




• The mod can be added to the game in the midterm
• The mod can be removed from the game in the midterm
• The mod is both client-side and server-side
• The mod's reliability is yet to be confirmed





Many thanks to the following tools:

it depends on which mods touch the json files, this should be reconfigured to run as 1 time exe before mod config

one collection it maybe broken as hell and the next it could work just fine.

umm i'll retest it and let you know modding can be a real pain in the neck.

@☥¤§ÑîGHTMÃRɧ¤☥ Can you provide the specific planet types on which this would be a problem? I'll try to sort it out.

@Darkly The recent update should have fixed it, would you mind giving it a try now?

@Darkly Got it. I'll try to look into it.

Just tested warping down to the wasteland planet with and without json optimized, and it is definetly this mod causing the issue

@crockan Tried again to warp down to an FU wasteland planet, and it crashed and sent me back to my ship again. here's the log:
