PS. The longer you played(year-in-game),the more effective this cleaning will be.
PS2. Sometimes errors occur like "Tried to remove xxx from RimWorld.WorldPawns,but it's not here."They're unavoidable as I should thouroughly de-register every pawn(to avoid further bugs).But,they're harmless,so just ignore them.

Great mod, you saved a few of my colonies with it!

I have a lot of mods installed and my game lags every few seconds for about a third of a second. After setting the update frequency of the memory monitor to 0.03s I noticed that every time my game lags the memory usage goes down. Could it be that the GC is the cause of this lag? If so, is there a way to pump more memory into Rimworld so the lag frequency is reduced? I got about 7 more gigabytes to spare and I'd rather Rimworld use them than have it lag every 4 seconds.

I don't know how Rimworld works but maybe you could add an option to set the frequency of how often the GC is called?
Edit:
I've read up on how the unity GC works and now now that my previous question doesn't make any sense. So new question:

Is there a way to delay the GC or basically increase the threshold where it's triggered?

Is this beloved mod dead?  Or will there be an update to 1.1?

It is dead, but someone else revived it.
