LossyCompression

Lossy Compression (有损压缩)

Compress belt & cargo data (-80%), dyson shells (-85%), and solar sails to drastically reduce save file size and improve I/O performance. Includes Lazy Loading and Multi-threading to optimize RAM usage and loading speed.

提供传送带(-80%), 戴森壳(-85%)及太阳帆的存档数据压缩。在性能测试面板可以启用/停用压缩。 游戏改版之前建议另存原档避免mod失效。若游戏改版后有无法正常读取的压缩存档, 请先回滚游戏版本再储存成未压缩(原版)存档。

BACKUP YOUR SAVE BEFORE USE! / 使用前务必备份存档！ While Dyson Shell/Swarm compression is safe (stored externally), enabling CargoPath (Belt) compression modifies the internal save structure. Saves created with CargoPath compression CANNOT be loaded without this mod. 戴森壳/太阳帆压缩是安全的（外部存储），但启用 CargoPath (传送带) 压缩 会修改存档内部结构。 启用了传送带压缩的存档，必须安装本 Mod 才能读取，否则存档将损坏。

Configuration (设置)

Run the game once to generate BepInEx\config\starfi5h.plugin.LossyCompression.cfg.

✅ Safe: Independent Data (安全功能：独立数据)

• DysonShell (Default: true)
• Effect: Lossless compression (blueprint only). Geometry is rebuilt on load using CPU multithreading.
• Storage: Data saved in a separate .moddsv file.
• Safety: If mod is removed, the save loads fine, but all Dyson Shells will vanish.
• 效果: 无损压缩戴森壳（仅保存蓝图）。载入时利用 CPU 重建模型。
• 机制: 数据存在独立的 .moddsv 文件中。若移除 Mod，存档可读取，但戴森壳会消失。

• DysonSwarm (Default: true)
• Effect: Lossy compression (statistical distribution). Exact positions are not saved.
• Side Effect: Sails are "regenerated" on load. Their positions will be randomized/reset each time.
• Safety: Same as above. If removed, all Solar Sails will vanish.
• 效果: 有损压缩太阳帆（保存统计分布）。不保存精确位置。
• 副作用: 每次读档时太阳帆位置会重置/随机生成。
• 机制: 若移除 Mod，存档可读取，但太阳帆会消失。

⚠️ Risk: Save Dependency (风险功能：存档依赖)

• CargoPath (Default: false)
• Effect: Lossy compression for belts/cargo. Positions/rotations are slightly simplified.
• Risk: PERMANENT DEPENDENCY. The compressed data is written directly into the main save file. If you uninstall the mod, the save will break unless you disable this option and re-save first.
• 效果: 有损压缩传送带数据。位置和方向会些微简化。
• 风险: 永久依赖。数据直接写入主存档。启用后，存档必须依赖此 Mod 才能开启。

⚡ Performance & RAM (性能与内存)

• MultiThreading (Default: true)
• Effect: Uses multiple CPU threads to rebuild Shells (4x faster loading).
• Trade-off: Significantly higher RAM usage during the loading screen.
• 效果: 启用多线程加速模型重建 (载入速度 4x)。代价是载入时内存 (RAM) 占用峰值更高。

• LazyLoad (Default: true)
• Effect: Only generates shell models when you are viewing them or opening the editor.
• Benefit: Massively reduces RAM usage for stars you are not currently looking at.
• 效果: 延迟载入。只有在看见戴森球或打开面板时才生成模型。大幅降低闲置星系的内存占用。

• ReduceRAM (Default: false)
• Effect: Aggressively deletes shell models from RAM immediately after saving.
• Trade-off: Lowest RAM usage, but causes CPU lag spikes during auto-save (needs to regenerate vanilla data) and requires rebuilding models when viewing the sphere again.
• 效果: 存档后立即从内存删除模型。极致省内存，但会导致存档时卡顿（需临时生成原版数据），且再次查看时需重新生成。

In-Game Controls (游戏内控制)

• Performance Panel: A toggle button Compress - ON/OFF is added to the performance test panel.
• Usage: You can switch compression modes dynamically. The setting applies to the next save operation.
• 性能面板: 性能测试面板中新增 Compress - ON/OFF 按钮。
• 用法: 可实时切换。设置将应用于下一次存档操作。

Uninstall Guide (卸载指南)

1. If CargoPath is OFF (Default):

• Safe to remove directly. Note: Shells/Sails in .moddsv will be lost.
• 若未启用传送带压缩：直接删除即可。*注意：储存在 .moddsv 中的壳/帆会消失。*

1. If CargoPath is ON:

• DO NOT DELETE MOD YET.
• Load game -> Disable compression in config/UI -> Save Game.
• Now it is safe to remove the mod.
• 若已启用传送带压缩：切勿直接删除。
• 进游戏 -> 关闭压缩功能 -> 保存游戏（转回原版格式） -> 然后再删除 Mod。

Compatibility (兼容性)

• (✅) NebulaMultiplayer: Supported. Syncs compressed data to clients, reducing network lag. (支持联机，大幅减少数据传输量)
• (✅) DSPOptimizations
• (✅) CompressSave
• (⚠️) SphereOpt: Will automatically disable LazyLoad to avoid conflict. (会自动关闭延迟载入以避免冲突)
