Hello mates, Baron here! The last patch of the year is here, but it is also the last of the Rakta patches. After this, the next update you will see is the Sentara Update, which is shaping up lovely by the way! I should be able to drop a sneak peek of that just before Warpfrog break for Christmas.
But for now, check out what we have in store with patch 1.1.2 - this small update contains a bunch of fixes for Rakta, but the more juicy news is that it actually brings a whole bunch of great QOL improvements to the mod manager.
The most notable change is that overall loading and previewing will be dramatically faster. This is due to a variety of changes we made for how mods display, including dynamic loading of previews, which as well as being faster will also give a boost in performance for weaker machines.
Check out this comparison gif to see how it stacks up to the last update:

(thanks Wully for the video!)
If you have a ton of mods, your loading time may still be longer than the video, but nonetheless it will still be dramatically faster than your 1.1.1 loading times.
As well as this, the mod manager has gotten plenty of general improvements in stability and functionality, so overall it should simply play nicer. ːlunar2019piginablanketː
