Improves visual quality of textures for other mods.

Rimworld enables compression for mods' textures, and there's no option to alter this in base game.
On my machine, compression makes some textures look horrifying at some zoom levels.
This mod disables texture compression.

Adds .dds support.

If a mod contains a .dds texture with the same name as .png texture, the game will load .dds instead, making it possible for modders to use either higher quality mipmaps, or smaller files for better load times.

Safe to add and remove to save games.

Load order does not matter.

No hard incompatibilities.

The mod in images is Bionic icons, by me.

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
