If you see me in game say hi! My username is "I want to eat flowers!"

I've probably put at least  five hundred hours into working on this project. I want it to be free forever, but I'm dirt poor and if you would like to donate as a means of showing thanks I have a kofi here https://ko-fi.com/sqooky (I will love you forever)

The original OptimizationLock by the wonderful Maihdenless is based on Dyson's config, which features some 300 ai hallucinated commands, as well as being documented entirely in Russian. In the time since the original OptimizationLock's upload Maihdenless himself has been missing in action while myself and some incredible community individuals have worked together to make the config more digestible and better documented. As well as removing every AI generated command. With some additional tweaks added afterwards this should give moderate fps improvements over the original config.

Ideally you should use the Github repository for this project as it is a bit better organized and this Gamebanana page mainly exists to stop people from downloading the older version of the config.
