📋 About This Mod
This mod tries to cover all ground and rock textures in the game but some areas might still be at vanilla resolution. Albedo textures are upscaled 4x with ESRGAN, while normal maps and reflection textures remain vanilla.
Textures are optimized so performance shouldn't be an issue especially if you have enough VRAM.
WARNING
Users with low vram GPUs might experience texture pop-in, delay in loading of the high quality texture (the game loads low quality first by default) and possibly stuttering. More so, if you used together with other high resolution texture mods.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive download count (150k+) shows it's a go-to for terrain visuals
- Performance-friendly approach with optimized textures and vanilla normals

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you have a low VRAM GPU, consider pairing this with a lighter texture mod to avoid stuttering.

- Since it's a texture replacer, load order doesn't matter much, but keep it below other mods that edit the same files.
