SeaCull

A performance optimization mod for Sunless Sea that significantly improves FPS through intelligent culling optimization, as well as fixing some bugs.

Performance Improvements

• 40-70% FPS Increase with Smart Tile Culling: SeaCull can dramatically improve your game's performance by automatically culling distant tiles to reduce computational overhead.

Features

• Automatic tile culling
• Configurable culling distance (though you probably don't wanna touch this)
• Zee Animation Fix - Limits Zee animation to 60 FPS to prevent excessive animation speed at higher FPS (which was intended by the devs)
• Adjustable Zee animation target FPS
• Disables FPS limit for the lowest graphics setting
• Zero impact on gameplay or visuals

Configuration

Edit SeaCull.ini in your Sunless Sea install folder to customize:

• Cull Tiles = true/false - Enable/disable tile culling
• Cull Distance = float - Distance at which tiles are culled
• Zee Animation Target FPS = integer - Target FPS for Zee animations

Compiling the Plugin

To develop and build the plugin, there are a couple of prerequisites. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MagicJinn/SeaCull.git
cd SeaCull

After this, you need to acquire a DLL SeaCull relies on. Create a dependencies folder, and find Sunless.Game.dll in your SunlessSea\Sunless Sea_Data\Managed folder. Copy it into the dependencies folder. After this, you should be able to compile the project with the following command:

dotnet build -c Release -p:Optimize=true

The DLL should be located in bin/Release/net35.
