Removes animations from almost all entities in the game, while keeping a single frame of animations or variation of sprites to keep everything recognizable. Compatible with any mod.
Intended to be used by modders, or in any situation where you might want to relaunch the game a lot. Could also be used to play on a potato.
For modders: define keep_animation = true on any prototype for this mod to not affect it. You can even work on animations for your entity without other animations slowing you down!
Benchmarks as of version 2.0.1
Note: all benchmarks are done on a "hot run": the game has already booted with this mod set, so it starts up faster. When mods change, the loading time is longer and the results are more drastic.
