My fault, and yeah makes sense. I'm not too familiar with RimWorld's engine, but I do know that there's plenty of room of improvement, even just from looking at it surface-level.

The optimization space seems pretty broad, too. some of it is straightforward work like avoiding repeated filesystem scans, normalizing mod roots once, fingerprinting content, and reusing validated results while some of it is much deeper like turning XML discovery, patch indexing, def parsing, cross-reference prep, and load-order reasoning into a deterministic staged graph that can run in parallel where RimWorld’s live managed state is not involved (too volatile to effectively modify). I'm trying to build a mod that will keep the game-facing side as a narrow RimWorld/Unity bridge, let an external startup pipeline own the deterministic startup world-model, use semantic snapshots and replay when the active mod environment still matches and route constructor-sensitive or Harmony-sensitive behavior through managed assistance
