Savegame Compressor [1.1 - 1.4]

Description
Automatically compress savegame files: It's actually quite a bit faster!

RimWorld stores your save games in a quite inefficient way. It uses pretty printed XML files, which makes it easy to debug, a feature that is very seldom needed. This mod disables the pretty printing, and compresses .rws files using gzip, a fast, and universally understood compression format.

The mod can be enabled at any time, but if you want to disable it, you have to decompress the files to make them readable again. Either disable compressing in the mod's settings, or use e.g. 7zip to unpack the files.

Great mod. I tried compressing one of my uncompressed save files for funsies and it went from 180MB to just 4MB. Then I found this. Thanks!

Use this with my Savegame Shrinker, and you’re golden :o They work great together. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2978713095

Really powerful mod. Only problem is: compressed xml makes it super hard to formating.:steamsad:

How is it incompatible anyway? I'm not sure how modmatch window mods change breaks save game handling.
