Just trying to find Performance friendly mods and alternatives to known mods which are performance friendly and list them here.
*Also note this isnt a Modlist of mods which are 0% performance hit mods.
i try to find mods which do their purpose / functioning with the least possible performance hit.
THESE MODS ARENT INTENDED ENTIRELY TO RUN TOGETHER , as in Simple side arms + pocket sand choose one or the other
But most mods can be used together and should ( like LTO and Color Coded mood Bar ).
Dont forget Performance fish and Fishery ( DONT use the steam workshop versions )

Performance Optimizer
Rocketman
Performance Fish
LTO groups with Color Coded mood Bar
Dubs Analyzer ( Optimizations )
Niilos QOL ( Optimizations Includes Reds Egg layer Fix )
Alternatively to Niilos , Reds egg layer Fix.
Related to the List :
Simple Learning : Set the XP gain low , and set it on a low priority as Anti idle Colonist tool with barely any effect on performance.
Interaction Bubbles : Disable above speed limit 1 in settings.
RimHUD: set refresh rate to 3000ms
Better GC : Bewarned this mod can improve your TPS "Slightly" but also can eventually bring issues if it deletes something important ONLY USE IF YOU REALLY NEED. ( Tested it with a small TPS gain and no issues to be found )
Unrelated to the List :
Dont let drills run Empty ( with no recources below )
Common sense : use the least Checkmarks as possible.
Achtung : Try to limit Urgent tasks
TD enhancement : Disable Urgent Refill task.
Tweak galore / similiar Mods : dont Use "Prisonders dont have keys"
Go Explore! : Disable Prison Quest
TURRETS: Disable them when theres no Raid like really they tick all the time EACH SINGLE TURRET.
Vanilla Temperature Expanded : Disable proxy Heat.
Progress Renderer : Tons of Ram Usage
VFE Tribals : Disable when not Used.
AVOID MODS if you care about performance ( many of them have Alternatives in the list ) :
Allies Are Helpful
Almostthere1.5
Ambient Rim
Animation mods (they all have a high PF hit)
Animals Logic
Automation mods usually are bad as in automated schedules... zones... and stuff.
