This mod causes a Crash immediately when loading a game under 2.0.38, or when switching to view a Platform in the Scenario Editor.
Filed a bug against the game as https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=127265 because Mod errors should not cause a game crash.... but please let me know if there is anything to be changed in this mod! Thanks.
Must have been a performance optimization that caused it, pretty sure thrusters hog GPU even if not visible a few versions before despite what Rseding91 said. Anyway, this is fixed in 2.0.39, and this mod is possibly no longer necessary if you are only trying to increase FPS.
This mod is working great again in 2.0.39 (still Experimental).
Anecdotally, this Mod does help with FPS when rendering 500+ active thrusters on screen at once. I use it in combination with “Thrusters over Thrusters”, so having the Smoke effect be completely hidden is nice.
