Performance Mods

Kenshi can struggle in big battles and busy towns. Performance mods are how you keep it smooth.

Mods that fight Kenshi's stutter — texture compression, optimisation tweaks and memory fixes.

What This Covers

Performance mods reduce stutter and crashes through texture compression, optimisation tweaks and memory-handling fixes.

Why You Need Them

Large battles, populated cities and long sessions strain Kenshi's engine. Performance mods are among the highest-value installs for many players.

Compatibility

Performance mods are generally safe and compatible. Texture-compression mods pair well with graphics mods to offset their cost.
