SD's Performance Tweak (Discontinued)

So, this mod removes a lot of particle effects from ships. Like, all of them, in fact. Or it is supposed too. I haven't fully tested it. :)

It uses a tweak thought up by /u/thinmonkey69 on reddit, specifically this post.

Yeah so if your FPS tanks in large battles you might want to enable this, but I wouldn't unless your FPS is getting bad. But its probably better than the classic stellaris 1-3 fps late game battle slideshows.

Anyway, if anyone can do some verification about whether this is working or not, let me know :)

Check out this mod for a better, updated version!
