EGI Holograms and Projectors MINIFIED

EGI: Holograms and Projectors is an awesome mod, as it features alot of cool high quality assets. It is how ever pretty LARGE. This scaled down version offers over 50% Smaller mod size without sacrificing that much quality!

Edit: This mod is most likely not relevant anymore. I recommend using the original mod instead of this "fork" as it wont get any future updates.




Wow! Barely a difference in quality AND lower size?!

I recommend using Rimpy[github.com] or ToDDS RImworld[github.com] and convert the tetures to dds. This will lower the load time of the game and higher the graphical quality of your modded textures. This will in some cases increase file size by a lot, which is why this mod does not ship with dll textures.

Here is a great Waveshaper guide that might help you DDS - RW General Troubleshooting Guide[docs.google.com]

As stated in the guide, to use dds textures you will need either Performance Fish[github.com] and or Graphics Settings+

Do you like to play high-tech colonies?
Do you enjoy the variety of the Ideology styles, but find them a tad limiting?
Do you want to plaster your base full of shining and brilliant displays, until your colonists retinas are as crispy as a potato strapped to the bottom of an incoming orbital bombardment?

You do? Then you are in luck today, fine fellow!
The wonderful EGI agents from our “Eyes and Ears” branch have been hard at work to bring you the next generation of holographic projection units.

Featuring 571 projections divided over 14 categories and 2 projector thrones with 16 individual styles, we are sure you’ll find something you enjoy.

Feel free to peruse.

Brought to you by
Elder Gods Incorporated, where we love our craft.

And for those still interested in beautiful holograms, but unable to enjoy them due to the frankly straining effort our product places on more casual systems we would like to point you towards
Holograms And Projectors, the lite version of this mod , the predecessor of our current product, which promises a more quaint selection of projections in exchange for a more modest file-size and subsequent usage of computing-resources.


Our merchandise will be ready for construction once the “Holo-Projection” technology, building on “Advanced lighting” has been researched.

Once finished, you’ll be free to try your hand at creating a variety of projectors to start illuminating your colony in ways never before seen.


Each projector features 3 modes, passively affecting your colonists around them.

Recreation: increases the recreation of pawns around them
Education: teaches colonists a random skill
Propaganda: increases certainty in colony-beliefs

The Projectors behave similarly to normal standing lamps and can even be coloured in a primary and secondary colour of choice.

For those who like to enjoy quality education, the large projector also offers a tutoring Mode, when placed adjacent to a school-desk, regailing your children with recordings of leading experts in their fields.They may not be as efficient as one-on-one tutelage, but offer valuable free-time for full-time parents.


The Propaganda option will not be available, if the Ideology-DLC is not present.

The grand projection throne counts as a VFE Empires Stellic throne.

With Expanded Psycasts, using the crafting timeskip for an ideology projector does not create the ideological relic version of the projector.

Many of the holograms take inspiration from various wonderful mods on the workshop, or the glorious artwork of the talented artists on the Rimworld discord server.

Thank you very much to:
- The “Vanilla Expanded” series
- Elseud for his incredible mech-retexture, that he allowed me to use
- DetVisor for allowing me to include his magnificent, beefy pirate gun
- Inertial mage, as I have used his “Toxic Plants Expanded” mod as in inspiration for the plant tutor
- the magnificent folks in #mod-art, as they have all been a great help and motivation
- Thekiborg for converting the textures to the dds format

Q: Why?
A: This version of the mod will run and download slightly. This may help for larger modlists as egi is rather recourse intensive. Care for the statistics? Thanks to the amazing work of tide{S}haper industries i have linked a sheet below which compares performance between the mods. vRam tesing- EGI Holograms[cryptpad.private.coffee]

Q: You're allowed to republish this?
A: Yes! As stated in the original mod description: This mod is distributed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International/*]. Read more about the license here[creativecommons.org]

Q: How?
A: I scaled all images down a notch, so 512x512 are now 256x256 instead, and 256x are 128. The textures still look great imo.

Q: Why should I "minify" my mods?
Minimizing your mods size reduces load sizes for players and makes downloads/updates easier - which is especially relevant for weaker machines. On the other hand it's good practice to have legible code for patching and compatibility, so either making a lite version of your mod or putting your source code on Github is recommended.



As I am not the original creator of this mod I instead urge you to show your support to the original mod. You may also like and reshare this mod for increased traction towards the og mod.
