Blood FPS Performance Fix

Description
Blood FPS Performance Fix
Do you want to enjoy blood in Project zomboid but your performance doesn't allow it?

You can enjoy it now on singleplayer with better and more realistic version of blood removal which before was only available in multiplayer settings!

How it works?
The blood itself in the game doesn't cause a big performance impact unless it's on the tiles for more than 4/5 days.The more days the blood has the worse the performance gets.

For example on maximum gore and 100% blood decals after killing 150 zombies on the first 4 days the blood only decreases fps by 5-10 but then it's getting much worse, decreasing it even by 60-70 fps by day 15.


This mod automatically removes blood every 3 in game days and except for that it also works when it's snowing or raining to keep some realism.

It removes the blood on a fairly large area (a bit larger than the maximum possible zoom out) while not losing almost any performance and allows you to triple/quadruple your fps if the blood was there for more than 4/5 days.

This is the first mod to remove blood on all levels of inside the building and not just the bottom floor - which is mainly why i created this mod, because there was always blood left on the higher parts of buildings and the fps was often still low .

You have the option to disable the mod in any given moment in the game options without having to turn off the mod in game menu.

You can also change how many tiles you want to clean per tick.
If you want to clean a large area of blood quickly you can set the option to 200 which is maximum.

Note that your fps will heavily drop when using the 200 option but after you are done cleaning the designed area you can quickly switch back to the default (8) option which doesn't lose any performance and is meant to be used on regular gameplay.

Why not clean the blood all the time?
Firstly because there are already mods for that and secondly because i like how the blood looks in this game and want to enjoy it without losing any performance.

Can i use it on already existing save?
Yes it's compatible with all existing saves and will remove the blood that existed before adding the mod.

I just added the mod and want to clean all the blood near and inside my base quickly, how do i do it?
Make sure you have downloaded this mod https://gtm.you1.cn/workshop/filedetails/?id=2169435993 and then just go in game options, find the tab 'Mods' and under BloodFPSFix you can set the number of tiles per tick to 200 and wait for all the blood to clean quickly. Remember to change it back to default (8) later as it's very performance heavy unlike the default option.
Also keep in mind that it happens only every 3 in game days or when it's raining/snowing

Can i just speed up the game to clean the blood faster?
No, speeding up the game doesn't change the speed of blood cleaning as it would very negatively impact the performance.When you speed the game up the blood cleaning speed is the same as if you didn't change the speed.
if you want to speed it up just see the above point.

How much will it raise my fps?
It depends how old is your save and how long the blood is on the tiles already and how much blood there is.
I have personally went from 25 fps to 90-100 fps on a 38 days old save with maximum blood gore and 100% blood decals.
Generally the older and the more blood there is the more fps you will get when the cleanup day comes or when the rain/snow comes.

It's not working! the blood is not dissapearing!
Like i said, the blood only cleans every 3 in game days or when it's raining/snowing because i prefer to have blood visible when I'm fighting zombies and after the fight.There are other mods that clean blood all the time but it costs more fps and you might aswell turn the blood decals off then.

Rokko 11 Dec, 2024 @ 1:28pm

is this mod compatible with "Rain cleans blood" ?

Can a fix be added when the tile is "null"? Specifically, I see errors constantly generated when I'm inside a RV interior and it's raining. I tested this by unchecking "Enabled" in the options and the errors stopped. Other than that, AWESOME mod and thank you!
