📋 About This Mod

Want to use viewing cages to store your excess pals, but don't want to tank your FPS? Then this mod is for you! This mod hides pals inside viewing cages to increase performance, alongside some other changes (Show first slot, don't hide

Work in latest Crossplay patch! (v0. 5. 1)

New mod requirement: RakLib. Install that before updating to version 0. 2. 0 or above RakLib IS NO LONGER NEEDED

Viewing cages are useful for overflow pal storage, but once you fill some cages your FPS will generally slow to a crawl. This mod disables the pal models that your viewing cages spawn in the world, while still allowing you to deposit pals inside them. This essentially turns cages into pal chests.

Merchants will stay loaded by default, so you can still hold them prisoner for trading purposes.

Viewing cage walls now have disabled collision, so you can walk inside them to trade with your enslaved merchants. Merchants will still wander inside the general area of the viewing cages.

Works in Singleplayer, untested in Multiplayer, DISABLED ON DEDICATED SERVERS
