Stutter Reducer Stable

Tired of your game stuttering all the time? Well no more! (sort of).

This makes some changes to Starbounds various config files that from my testing noticeably reduces the amount the game stutters without any changes to its quality. To be clear, this does not completely solve the issue, but does alleviate it somewhat. It also has no effect on fps.

Specifically, it reduces how often Starbound autosaves, and increases the time textures are cached. This comes at the cost of slightly higher RAM usage (100-200MB in my testing). Also, if your game crashes you might loose more progress.
Due to the cache changes once you have gone through a world it will run almost flawlessly (this is the third image, pass 2). Unfortunately once you exit the game you will need to refill the cache.
(Update): There were some problems with the cache changes, so they have been removed from the mod. If you want a more up to date version check out the beta, which can be found here:

Finally I recommend using Optimizebound, Parallax Compression, and Quest Manager Optimizer in tandem with this.
